Abstract
THERE are earlier reports of the biochemical demonstration of β-glucuronidase in brain tissue1,2. Strong β-glucuronidase activity in the choroid plexus and in the Purkinje cells was established by Pearse2. We have, however, been unable to find a more detailed investigation of the distribution of this enzyme in the brain.
