“…Concanavalin A (Con A)-binding glycoproteins (for review, see Brunngraber, 1979) in brain tissue include the acetylcholine (nicotinic) receptor (Seto et al, 1977;Moore and Brady, 1977), adenylate cyclase (Michaelis and Michaelis, 1976), thromboplastin (Pitlick, 1976), alkaline phosphatase (Chang et al, 1975), a2-brain-specific glycoprotein , dopamine-p-hydroxylase (Aunis et al, 1979, glutamate-binding protein (Michaelis, 1975), glycoprotein GM-50-C (Ramirez et al, 1974), phosphoglycoproteins (Davis et al, 1976), sulfatases and all glycosidases (Balasubramanian and Bachhawat, 1975), and acetylcholinesterase (Rieger and Vigny, 1976). Membranous fractions shown to bind Con A include components of the chromaffin granules (Eagles et al, 1975), Golgi membranes (Abe et al, 1976), myelin (Matus et al, 1973), nuclear membrane (Virtanen and Wariouaara, 1976), ribosomal protein (Howard and Schnebli, 1977), smooth endoplasmic reticulum (Wood and McLaughlin, 1976a), synaptosomes (Matus et al, 1973;Matus and Walters, 1976), synaptic plasma membranes (Zanetta et al, 1975), postsynaptic densities (Gurd, 1977), synaptic junctions (Kelly and Cotman, 1977), proteins of the synaptic cleft (Collard and Temmink, 1974;Wood and McLaughlin, 19766), and synaptic vesicles (Zanetta and Gombos, 1974).…”
