Origin of kallikrein in rat and human exocrine glands and kidney.
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. The cellular localization of kallikrein was investigated in rat and human exocrine glands and kidney by a direct immunofluorescence technique. 2. Kallikrein was found in the duct system of the rat and human major salivary glands. 3. Kallikrein was found in the distal tubular cells of the rat kidney. Attempts to localize kallikrein in the human kidney were unsuccessful. 4. In the rat and human pancreas, kallikrein was found as a pro-enzyme in the acinar cells.

Kallikrein-gene expression in the rat gastrointestinal tract.
The serine proteinase glandular kallikrein has been demonstrated in the gastrointestinal tract, although there is some doubt as to whether it is synthesized there or derives from exocrine-gland secretions. Using a rat pancreatic kallikrein cRNA probe we have demonstrated kallikrein-like gene expression in the corpus, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, caecum and colon, and compared the pattern of expres...
متن کاملApical and basal-lateral Na/K-ATPase in rat lacrimal gland acinar cells.
The distribution of Na/K-ATPase in rat exorbital lacrimal gland was studied using immunofluorescent localization of an antibody raised against rat kidney Na/K-ATPase. In cryostat sections, intralobular ducts were strongly immunoreactive and acinar cells showed localization on both apical and basal-lateral surfaces. Acinar cells also had strong intracellular reactivity in apical regions. These r...

In the present study, pancreas glands in Mehraban breed of female sheep were histomorphometricallystudied in four different age groups included: fetus, newborn, sexually mature and old ages. The results ofhistomorphometrical analysis with regard to frequency and percentage of parenchymal and stromal structures such as, exocrine secretory units, secretory ducts, blood vessels, islets of Langerha...
متن کاملExistence of prokallikrein in the kidney. Its biochemical properties compared to three active glandular kallikreins from the kidney, serum, and urine of the rat.
Prokallikrein in the kidney was partially purified with immunoaffinity and DEAE Sephadex A-50 column chromatographies, and its biochemical properties were studied in comparison to three active glandular kallikreins purified from kidney, serum, and urine of the rat. The properties of the enzyme obtained by trypsin activation of prokallikrein were identical with those of active glandular kallikre...
متن کاملSpecific identification of tissue kallikrein in exocrine tissues and in cell-free translation products with monoclonal antibodies.
A panel of six mouse monoclonal antibodies (IgG1) has been prepared against purified rat urinary kallikrein (EC 3.4.21.35) and characterized. In radioimmunoassay, the antibody titres of ascitic fluid giving 50% binding to 125I-kallikrein range from 1:2 X 10(3) to 1:1 X 10(6). Antibodies from four of the clones show no cross-reactivity with human urinary kallikrein, rat urinary esterase A or ton...
