Adenylate cyclase localization in unfixed specimens of rat oral mucosa and isolated mitochondria.
The cytochemical localization of adenylate cyclase (E.C.4.6.1.1) was demonstrated in unfixed rat oral mucosal specimens and isolated mitochondrial fractions by use of a modified cytochemical reaction mixture. The adenylate cyclase reaction product was observed in the mitochondrial cristae of intact epithelial and fibroblast cells, and in isolated mitochondria after a 10-min incubation in the reaction mixture. The validity of the cytochemical adenylate cyclase method was supported by biochemical studies.
