Latent acetylcholinesterase in secretory vesicles isolated from adrenal medulla [PDF]
A new procedure is described for the preparation of highly purified and stable secretory vesicles from adrenal medulla. Two forms of acetylcholinesterase, a membrane bound form as well as a soluble form, were found within these vesicles.
