Immunoelectron Microscopic Localization of Lactase-Phlorizin Hydrolase in Rat Small Intestine

抄録

To provide insight into the intracellular translocation of lactase-phlorizin hydrolase, an immunoelectron microscopy was per-formed on rapidly embedded Lowicryl K4M sections of rat jejunum. Lactase-phlorizin hydrolase immunoreactivity was detected not only in the microvillous membranes and in the smooth apical vesicles, but also in the lateral membranes, suggesting an alternative route for intracellular transport of lactase-phlorizin hydrolase via the lateral membranes to the microvilli.
