摘要
Acetylcholinesterase activity (AChE, E.C. 3.1.1.7) was examined in different tissues of Catenula leptocephala (Nuttycombe, 1956). Eserine and iso-OMPA were used to distinguish AChE from non-specific cholinesterases (ChE, E.C. 3.1.1.8). The enzyme was located mainly in the brain neuropil, the peripheral nervous system, neuromuscular junctions, on the membrane of muscle cells and of cells with rhabdites. The distribution of the enzyme suggests that cholinergic transmission occurs in Catenula leptocephala, while simultaneously the presence of AChE on the membranes of muscle cells points to the receipt of cholinergic stimulation. The role of AChE in differentiation and maturation of cells with rhabdites is also discussed in this paper. © 1979 Springer-Verlag.
