title: [Ultracytochemical observation of the intracellular localization of H+-adenosine triphosphatase].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To observe the ultracytochemical localization of H(+)-adenosine triphosphatase (H(+)-ATPase) in the cell organelles.
  
  
  METHODS
  The localization of H(+)-ATPase in the cell organelles was observed in the hepatocytes and renal cells of Wistar rats using routine ultracytochemical methods.
  
  
  RESULTS
  H(+)-ATPase activities were observed on the lysosomal membrane and nuclear envelope of the hepatocytes and proximal tubule epithelial cells of the nephron in Wistar rats.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This finding supports the hypothesis that H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) is present on the plasma membrane and in the endomembrane system.
