Histochemical localization of carbonic anhydrase in Malpighian tubules of Culex pipiens

  • Published:
Experientia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Carbonic anhydrase (CA) activity has been localized histochemically by Hansson's method in Malpighian tubules ofCulex pipiens. The enzyme has been observed on membranes of the cytoplasmic inclusions of Malpighian cells; no CA activity has been found in other cytoplasmic structures. The possible meaning of the localization of the enzyme is discussed.
