Brain Clathrin: A Study of Its Properties
Chapter
Abstract
In 1968, Puszkin, Berl and coworkers reported the presence of contractile proteins in whole brain (1). Subsequent work showed the presence of contractile proteins in nerve-endings (2,3,4). The properties of various contractile proteins found in brain tissue resembled, to a large extent, those from muscle tissue (2,4). As a result, it was proposed that contractile activities are involved in neurotransmitter release (5). With the advantage of sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis as a procedure for distinguishing and comparing the size of various proteins, many researchers working with other tissues or cells began to report the presence and involvement of contractile proteins in motility-related cell functions (6).
