  • Title: D-aspartic acid in purified myelin and myelin basic protein.
    Author: Fisher GH, Garcia NM, Payan IL, Cadilla-Perezrios R, Sheremata WA, Man EH.
    Journal: Biochem Biophys Res Commun; 1986 Mar 13; 135(2):683-7. PubMed ID: 2421722.
    Abstract:
    The presence of the biologically uncommon D-isomer of aspartic acid in the white matter of human brains has been reported previously from this laboratory (1). We now report that the level of D-aspartate in human brains is higher in purified myelin than in white matter and is even higher in the myelin basic protein fraction. There also appears to be a difference in the level of D-aspartate found in human brain as compared to bovine brain, possibly a species or age-related difference.
