Acetate metabolism by tissues of the rabbit.
Acetyl CoA synthetase (E.C.6.2.1.1) and acetyl CoA hydrolase (E.C.3.1.2.1) activities were assayed in sub-cellular fractions of rabbit liver, heart and kidney homogenates. The intracellular location of acetyl CoA hydrolase was predominantly mitochondrial in all tissues, whereas that for acetyl CoA synthetase varied between the tissues studied. The relationship between location of enzyme activity and metabolism of acetate in different tissues is discussed.
