Notes:
γ-Glutamylation of p-tyramine, noradrenaline, dopamine and serotonin in rat brains was demonstrated by intraventricular injections of the radioactive amines and isolation of the γ-glutamylamines from the acidic extract of the rat brains. Formation of these γ-glutamylamines was proved to be catalysed by γ-glutamyltranspeptidase prepared from both rat kidney and brain. However, these compounds were degraded by γ-glutamylcyclotransferase of rat brain, but not by the emzyme of rat kidney.
