Remarkable electron-microscopic localization of thiamine diphosphate phosphohydrolase (TDPase) in the tanycytes of the rat.
The electron-microscopic localization of TDPase in the tanycytes of rat brain was studied. The reaction product was demonstrated in the membranes, but not in the Golgi apparatus of this cell type. Possible functional aspects of these findings were discussed.
