title: Electron histochemical localization of cathepsin L in the liver.
abstract: The location of cathepsin L in rat liver was studied by electron histochemical methods. Enzyme activity was detected in lysosomes of hepatocytes, Kupffer cells, and endotheliocytes and extracellularly on hepatocyte microvilli.
