title: A comparison of the properties of 5'-nucleotidase purified from the cytosolic and synaptic plasma membrane fractions of rat forebrain.
abstract: 1. 5'-Nucleotidase was purified 1247-fold from the post-microsomal supernatant (I) and 3862-fold from the synaptic plasma membrane (II) of rat brain homogenates. 2. The apparent molecular masses of I and II were 131 and 72 kDa respectively by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecylsulphate and 268 and 286 kDa respectively by Sephacryl S-300 chromatography. 3. The activities of both I and II were strongly inhibited by concanavalin A but were affected differently by digestion with glycosidases. for II, these were 0.083 and 0.056 mM respectively. 5. Activities of both I and II were strongly inhibited by ATP and ADP.
