Abstract
Abstract— Several amino acids, particularly [3H]proline and [3H]asparagine specifically and efficiently labelled rapidly transported proteins in the goldfish optic nerve and tectum after intraocular injection. Studies with these amino acids showed that the rapidly transported proteins moved as a discrete band at a rate which was temperature‐dependent, and was equal to 70‐100 mm per day at 20°C. Transported protein in the optic tectum was 80 per cent particulate and was found in synaptosomal, mitochondrial, and myelin fractions, but not in purified nuclei or ribosomes.Keywords
