Cytochrome b-561 in sympathetic nerve terminal vesicles from rat vas deferens

The spectral properties of sympathetic nerve vesicles isolated from the vas deferens of the rat are similar to those of the bovine chromaffin granule membranes and bovine nerve trunk vesicles, indicating the presence of the specific cytochrome b-561. The cytochrome occurs only in the fractions containing nerve vesicles, thus suggesting usefulness as a marker enzyme.
