title: Binding of folic acid to serum proteins. V. Tritiated folic acid in the liver.
abstract: Sephadex G-200 chromatographies of the liver cell sap of rabbits, 1, 3 and 6 days after an injection of 3H-folic acid activity (FAA) into the circulation, were used in an attempt to study the binding of this labelled FAA to liver proteins. The labelled FAA was quickly accumulated in the liver, and in the cell sap it was grouped chromatographically to two maxima, which corresponded to the two maxima of microbiological FAA (L. casei). The maxima were eluated in the chromatography together with cell sap proteins. The possible coupling of FAA to proteins in the liver is discussed.
