title: Kallikrein-producing cells in the rat pituitary and pineal gland.
abstract: By using an immunohistochemical technique, kallikrein-producing cells in the anterior pituitary of rats were identified to be the same as prolactin-producing cells. Kallikrein was localized at the Golgi apparatus, the rough endoplasmic reticulum and secretory granules. Kallikrein was also located in the perivascular cells of the pineal gland.
