Renal Expression of the Brain and Muscle Isoforms of Glycogen Phosphorylase in Different Cell Types

Abstract: Kidney contains glycogen. Glycogen is degraded by glycogen phosphorylase (GP). This enzyme comes in three isoforms, one of which, the brain isozyme (GP BB), is known to occur in kidney. Its pattern of distribution in rat kidney was studied in comparison to that of the muscle isoform (GP MM) with the aim to see if for GP BB and GP MM there were functional similarities in brain and kidney. In immunoblotting and quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) experiments, both isozymes and t… Show more

“…Application on heart of the fixation method employed for nervous tissue [immersion into 3.5% (w/v) paraformaldehyde/PBS at 4°C for 24 h] [5] resulted in intense autofluorescence as already reported for kidney sections [17]. Therefore the tissue had to be treated otherwise, i.e., the fresh cryosections were fixed with 4% (w/v) N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N 0 -ethylcarbodiimideÁHCl/PBS (EDC) (Sigma-Aldrich, Steinheim, Germany) at room temperature for 1 h [19] and then washed with PBS.…”
