Glutamine Synthetase in the Normal Human Retina

Gerald J. Chader, PhD; Laura Saunders; Liane Reif-Lehrer, PhD

Arch Ophthalmol. 1971;85(3):286-287.

Abstract

The activity of the enzyme glutamine synthetase was found tobe high in the normal human retina. Comparable levels of enzymewere observed when pieces of retina were maintained in tissueculture for 24 hours. Addition of hydrocortisone to such culturesdid not increase levels of the enzyme as has been observed inother systems with native retinal tissue.
