Histochemical measurements of rat kidney hexokinase.
HK has been measured in substructures of the developing rat nephron.  Reactions were carried on samples dissected from freeze dried kidney and assayed in 1 mul reaction volume utilizing the "oil-well" technique.  Samples from 4 days prenatal to 44-day adult were analyzed.  Activity during development decreased in G, PCT, and it increased in ALH.  There was little change in PRT, DCT and CT.  Activity in small arteries decreased.
