XXVI. Alkaline Phosphatase Activity in the Sensory Nerve Endings of the Clitoris

LUIGI GIACOMETTI, PhD; HARUO MACHIDA, MD

Arch Dermatol. 1965;91(4):377-378.

Abstract
Alkaline phosphatase activity was found in the mucocutaneous sensory end-organs of the human clitoris and appears to be restricted to the non-neural substance surrounding the coiled nerve filaments. The distribution of the alkaline phosphatase in the sensory end-organs corresponds with that of the nonspecific cholinesterase.
