Abstract
Electron microscopical study of AChE localization in the Mormyrid electric organ shows intense enzymatic activity in the synaptic region of the pedicle and a clearly recognizable enzymatic activity on the non-synaptic surface of the pedicle and on the anterior non-innervated face of the electroplaque.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
