1. Homogenates of guinea-pig left ventricle were fractionated by differential pelleting and by centrifugation on continuous sucrose density gradients. 2. The principal subcellular organelles of myocardium, characterized by their marker enzyme content, were resolved by density gradient centrifugation in a small-volume zonal rotor. The equilibrium densities (p) of the principal organelles are (with marker enzymes in parentheses): sarcolemma, 1-12 (5'-nucleotidase); lysosomes, 1-16 (N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase); mitochondria, 1-17 (cytochrome oxidase); peroxisomes, 1-18 (catalase); cytosol (lactate dehydrogenase). 3. The subcellular distribution of various adenosine triphosphatase activities and previously unassigned enzymes was determined. Leucyl-beta-naphthylamidase and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase showed both cytosol and sarcolemma components. Ca2+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase showed dual localization to the mitochondria and to the sarcolemma.

Two-micrometer sections of methacrylate-embedded kidney were used to investigate the enzymatic activities of mouse kidney where the proximal tubule and Bowman's capsule from the same corpuscle were viewed in the same section. Alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase, leucine aminopeptidase, alpha-naphthyl butyrate esterase, and adenosine triphosphatase activities were observed in the proximal tubule, but only 5'-nucleotidase, alpha-naphthyl butyrate esterase, and alkaline phosphatase were observed in the squamous portion of the parietal epithelium of Bowman's capsule. The use of methacrylate-embedded tissue allowed more precise localization of enzymatic activity than is possible with most frozen sections. This may provide interesting applications not only for characterization of kidney diseases but also for characterization of other normal and abnormal tissues.
