I. Moeller et al., LOCALIZATION OF ANGIOTENSIN-IV BINDING-SITES TO MOTOR AND SENSORY NEURONS IN THE SHEEP SPINAL-CORD AND HINDBRAIN, Brain research, 701(1-2), 1995, pp. 301-306
In the sheep spinal cord, a high density of [I-125]angiotensin IV bind
ing sites was localized to the perikaryon and processes of all somatic
motor neurons, the autonomic motor neurons in the lateral hems of tho
racic and lumbar segments and all dorsal root ganglia, but was low in
lamina II of all dorsal horns. At supraspinal levels, [I-125]angiotens
in IV binding was abundant in numerous motor associated regions, with
weaker binding observed in the sensory regions. This wide distribution
pattern suggests an important role for the binding site in the centra
l nervous system.
