Abstract
We report here that denervation of rat extensor digitorum longus, soleus and diaphragm muscle results in an increase of a subset of asymmetric acetylcholinesterase (class II A-forms) in the contralateral muscle, within a few days. This observation is interesting because it suggests a specific regulation of one asymmetric enzyme fraction, which is solubilized only in the presence of chelating agents and is thought to reside in the basal lamina.
