Myelin isolated from rat brain possessed the ability to release phosphorylcholine from glycerophosphorylcholine, and this activity was enriched 3.2-fold over that of the original homogenate. This glycerophosphorylcholine phosphocholine phosphodiesterase activity had a pH optimum at 9.5, had a K, of

The expression of calmodulin (CaM) protein and mRNA was analyzed in specific regions of the rat brain during postnatal development. CaM levels in the adult brain were more abundant in the cerebral hemispheres and thalamus compared to brain stem and superior plus inferior colliculus. All brain region
The levels of GPC phosphocholine phosphodiesterase, pNP phosphocholine phosphodiesterase, CNPase, and UDP galactose: ceramide galactosyltransferase activities were estimated with pure cultures of oligodendrocytes and astrocytes; mixed primary glial cells cultures; C-6 cells; and CNS tissue of the dy
## Abstract Interpretation of biochemical measurements in the human brain after death is complicated by a variety of premortem, perimortem, and postmortem factors. The activity of glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) in particular has been found to vary considerably among human brains. In contrast to
