Abstract: | Summary The ultrastructural localization of glucose 6-phosphatase activity was investigated in the proximal convoluted tubule cells of the rat kidney. The reaction product for the enzyme activity was present in the endoplasmic reticulum and nuclear envelope, as reported for the hepatic enzyme and others, but was absent from the brush border, plasma membrane and other organelles. The metabolic significance of the association of this enzyme with the endoplasmic reticulum and the role of the enzyme in the active reabsorption and transport of glucose in the renal tubules are discussed. |
