| Abstract | Tyrosine hydroxylase (EC 1.14.16.2), the enzyme catalyzing the rate-limiting step in catecholamine biosynthesis, was localized by electron microscopy within noradrenergic neurons of the nucleus locus coeruleus of the rat brain with a specific antibody to tyrosine hydroxylase labeled by the peroxidase-antiperoxidase immunohistochemical method. Labeled cell bodies and their processes were easily distinguished from unstained neuronal elements in the neuropil. The hydroxylase was only seen in the neuronal cytoplasm. Its distribution in processes was different from that in cell soma. In longitudinal sections of axons and dendrites, the peroxides reaction product appeared as fiber-like strands aligned parallel with the plasma membrane. In cross section, the labeled structures had a diameter of 220 A and exhibited an orderly distribution within the processes. The size and distribution of the peroxidase-stained structures suggest that they are neurotubules. In the perikarya, the cytoplasm was diffusely stained; the reaction was most intense on membranes of endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus, whereas lysosomes and mitochondria did not stain. The ultrastructural localization of tyrosine hydroxylase is consistent with biochemical data suggesting that the enzyme exists in different states in cell body and processes. The ultrastructural identification of enzymes subserving synthesis of neurotransmitters in central neurons and their processes may provide a useful tool in mapping the distribution of chemically specific synapses on identifiable neurons in brain. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
