title: Immunohistochemical and subcellular studies of aminopeptidase M localization in rat brain: microvessels and synaptic membranes.
abstract: A predominantly microvascular localization of aminopeptidase M (APM) was established both by immunohistochemistry and biochemical studies of isolated microvessels. In addition a high relative specific activity of APM was evidenced in fractions enriched in synaptic membranes.
