Met-enkephalin-like and dynorphin-like immunoreactivities of the basal ganglia of the cat.
We have carried out a detailed immunohistochemical study of opiate peptide distributions in the cat's basal ganglia using antisera to met-enkephalin and dynorphin 1-17. The findings suggest that within the striatum, pallidum and substantia nigra, these peptides have different distributions and therefore presumably different functional roles.
