title: Tyrosinase-like polypeptides in the uterus and in the central nervous system of rats.
abstract: Nuclear and cytosolic fractions of rat uteri and tissues from the central nervous system contain proteins that are recognized by a polyclonal tyrosinase antibody. This antibody eliminates the cresolase activity of uterine nuclear extract when estradiol is used as substrate. Thus, it appears that tyrosinase-like proteins might be present in tissues not generally considered to chain such an enzyme.
