title: The molecular forms of acetylcholinesterase in rat thymus.
abstract: Using sucrose density gradients, studies on the molecular forms of AChE in rat thymus show the presence of the 4S and 10S enzyme but the absence of the 16S form--which is itself a characteristic form in rat skeletal muscle. Additionally, there are variations in solubility characteristics and in developmental aspects between rat skeletal muscle and rat thymus.
