The nature of the cholinesterase activity present on the wall of blood vessels in amphibian brain has been studied histochemically. It is concluded that the enzyme involved is acetylcholinesterase rather than butyrylcholinesterase, which more frequently occurs in the blood vessels of the brain of other vertebrates. The histochemical results are in agreement with most biochemical data concerning substrate specificity and inhibitor response for both acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase. The two main hypotheses put forward by others in order to explain cholinesterase activity in brain vessels are discussed briefly.
