Glutamine synthetase is a glial-specific marker in the olfactory regions of the lobster (Panulirus argus) nervous system.

Abstract excerpt

Glutamine synthetase (GS) has been qualified as a very specific marker of astroglial-type neuroglia in vertebrate neural tissues. In this paper we have begun to examine the possibility that glial localization of GS could be a ubiquitous characteristic of complex nervous systems. To this end we have used immunohistochemistry to localize GS-like immunoreactivity in the olfactory regions of the complex nervous...
