title: Parvalbumin-immunoreactive material in the kidney of Xenopus laevis.
abstract: Parvalbumin-immunoreactive material has been localized in various parts of the Xenopus kidney. Ciliated epithelia in the neck segment, the intermediate segment and in the peritoneal funnel, epithelial cells intermingled among flask cells in the connecting tubule, and cells in the proximal and distal tubules cells were labelled. Renal corpuscle and collecting duct cells did not exhibit parvalbumin immunoreactivities. Western-blot analysis of kidney homogenates indicated various isoforms of parvalbumin-immunoreactive proteins.
