Abstract
Evidence for a protease in squid axoplasm which is selectively activated by Ca2+ and blocked by SH‐inhibitors is presented. This protease appears to be particularly effective in degrading squid neurofilament proteins, but also extensively degrades various other major protein components in axoplasm.Keywords
