title: Immunoelectron microscopic localization of carbonic anhydrase III in rat skeletal muscle.
abstract: The subcellular distribution of carbonic anhydrase III in rat soleus and vastus lateralis muscles was studied using an immunogold technique. The enzyme protein was found to be distributed diffusely in the cytoplasm of skeletal muscle cells. Red skeletal muscle (mainly type I fibers) revealed very strong immunogold staining whereas in white muscle (mainly type II fibers) gold particles were almost completely absent. No immunoreaction was observed in mitochondria or in other intracellular organelles.
