Purkinje cells P400 protein

Cloning of the P400 protein cDNA revealed that it was identical to the IP3 receptor protein, as well as the Purkinje cell-specific PCPP-260 protein isolated by Walaas et al. 

Fig. 23. Section of reeler mutant mouse cerebellum stained with monoclonal antibody 4C11 against the P400 protein. Note stained Purkinje cells in the cortex (CX) and in the central mass of dislocated cells (DP). Bar = 200 jum. Maeda et al. (1989).

Several polypeptides, that are present in all Purkinje cells, but not in other cells of the cerebellum, have been mentioned in the previous sections of this chapter. They include the IP3 receptor (identical to the P400 protein and to the PCPP-260 protein of Walaas et al., 1986) (see Section 3.1.4), IPj-S-kinase (Section 3.1.4), cGMP-dependent protein kinase (Section 3.1.5), PEP-19 and calbindin-D28K (Section 3.1.7). Two other...
