Acetylcholine and the Incorporation of [32P] Phosphate into Phospholipids and Phosphoproteins of Nerve Endings of Developing Rat Brain

Nature volume 211, pages 530–531 (1966)Cite this article

Abstract

IT has been shown that acetylcholine stimulates the incorporation of [32P] phosphate into the phospholipids of slices, homogenates, and microsomal fractions of guinea-pig cerebral hemispheres under conditions of oxidative phosphorylation1,2. Maximal stimulation of phosphorus-32 incorporation was found to occur in phosphatidic acid and phosphoinositide2.
