Regional distribution of arylsulfatase C and estrone-sulfate sulfatase activities in rat brain and hypophysis.
Regional distributions of arylsulfatase C and estrone-sulfate sulfatase activities were studied in rat brain and hypophysis by both histochemical and biochemical methods. Both methods showed that high activities of both enzymes were localized in pineal gland, choroid plexus, and adenohypophysis. Ultracytochemical techniques visualized the arylsulfatase C activity in the endoplasmic reticulum and the nuclear envelope of pineal cells, ependymal cells, and some types of cells of the adenohypophysis.
