Tyrosinase-like polypeptides in the uterus and in the central nervous system of rats.

Nuclear and cytosolic fractions of rat uteri and tissues from the central nervous system contain proteins that are recognized by a polyclonal tyrosinase antibody. This antibody eliminates the cresolase activity of uterine nuclear extract when estradiol is used as substrate. Thus, it appears that tyrosinase-like proteins might be present in tissues not generally considered to chain such an enzyme.
