Carbonic anhydrase III in the salivary glands and kidney of the Japanese monkey (Macaca fuscata).
Carbonic anhydrase III (CA-III) was found in muscles of the Japanese monkey by the double immunodiffusion test and western blotting using antiserum raised against equine CA-III. Immunocytochemical localization of CA-III in the salivary glands and kidney of the monkey was studied using an avidin-biotinylated glucose oxidase complex. CA-III was found mainly in the striated duct and interlobular duct cells of the parotid glands. In the submandibular glands, striated duct, interlobular duct, and excretory duct cells were strongly stained for CA-III. In the kidney of the monkey, CA-III was localized mainly in the dark cells of the collecting duct at the medulla and in the epithelial cells of thick limb of Henle's loop.
