title: [A study of membrane glycoproteins from the rat brain using D-galactose-specific lectin].
abstract: Immobilized D-galactose-specific lectin from Zea mais was used to purify rat brain membrane glycoproteins. The membrane glycoproteins preliminarily washed from soluble proteins were solubilized consecutively by 2% triton X-100 and 1% SDS. PAG-electrophoresis with SDS and 2-mercaptoethanol revealed 10 polypeptide bands (Mm 109, 62, 59, 54, 51, 42, 16, 14, 12.5 and 12 kDa) in the membrane fraction of glycoproteins solubilized with triton X-100. Additional solubilization with SDS revealed 3 bands (Mm 109, 62, and 54 kDa). Only 3 polypeptide bands (Mm 62, 59, 42 kDa) were identified when analogous procedure was used for purification of the rat liver glycoproteins. Horse radish peroxidase labelled D-galactose-specific lectin from Zea mais was found to bind to neuron bodies and neurites in the cerebellum. It is suggested that the identified brain-specific membrane glycoproteins may take part in the cell adhesion between neurons.
