Pancreatic Ribonuclease Distribution and Comparisons in Mammals

Abstract

PANCREATIC RNAase is absent or present in very small amounts in the pancreas of species such as man, cat, seal and rabbit1. Likewise no RNAase activity has been found in the pancreatic juice of dog by Marchis-Mouren et al.2 and in the juice of cat and rabbit by Berndt3.
