Determination of gamma-glutamyl conjugates of monoamines by means of high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection and application to gastropod tissues.
Catabolism of aminergic neurotransmitters in gastropods appears to be primarily by means of gamma-glutamyl conjugation rather than by oxidative deamination as is typical of vertebrates. High-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection was used to develop a method for the routine measurement of gamma-glutamyl conjugates of dopamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine in gastropod tissues.
