Zusammenfassung

Nachweis eines Invertebraten-Enzyms, das bei Vertebraten insbesondere im Nervengewebe eine wichtige Rolle spielt. Diese Glutamin-Synthetase wurde vor allem im optischen Ganglion in der Retina und im Gehirn zweier Tintenfischarten gefunden und überdies in sehr geringer Menge bei Crustaceen und Echinodermen.
