Abstract
The subcellular distribution of prolyl endopeptidase, and of cationsensitive neutral endopeptidase, two enzymes actively metabolizing many neuropeptides, was determined in homogenates of rabbit brain. The subcellular distribution of both enzymes was more similar to lactate dehydrogenase, a cytoplasmic enzyme marker, than to choline acetyltransferase, a synaptosomal marker. Only 35% of the activity of these two neutral endopeptidases was found in the crude mitochondrial fraction (P2), the bulk of the remaining activity being associated with the high-speed supernatant. Prolyl endopeptidase and cation-sensitive neutral endopeptidase thus can be regarded as mainly cytoplasmic enzymes in the rabbit brain.Keywords
