Colocalization of angiotensinogen and glial fibrillary acidic protein in astrocytes in rat brain.
Angiotensinogen is produced in the brain, but its precise localization and the cells in the central nervous system producing it are unknown. We have performed a double staining test for angiotensinogen and glial fibrillary acidic protein in rat brain and report here that these proteins colocalize in astrocytes.
