. Immunoreactive calcium‐binding protein (28 000 g mol ‐1 , L‐CaBP) has been quantified using a specific radioimmunoassay to human cerebellar L‐CaBP. The level of L‐CaBP in post‐mortem tissue samples varied from undetectable in muscle to 8 μ g/mg ‐1 protein in the cerebellum and 16 μ g mg ‐1 protein in the dentate nucleus. L‐CaBP was found to be widely distributed throughout the nervous system while the only non‐nervous tissue which contained appreciable levels was the renal cortex.
