Binders of intravenously administered 65-zinc in rat liver cytoplasm

Journal Article · · Bioinorg. Chem.; (United States)

The fate of an i.v. injected trace dose of /sup 65/Zn2+ in the rat, was studied over a period of 10 days after injection. Tissue distributions were determined and a special study was made of /sup 65/Zn binders in liver cytoplasm. A total of 6 /sup 65/Zn-binding fractions were observed in liver cytoplasm with apparent molecular weights of about 113,000, 66,400, 47,400, 29,000, 23,000 and 11,400. A time study showed that 4 hours after the injection the most prominent cytoplasmatic /sup 65/Zn binders are the 113,000, 66,400 and 23,000 molecular weight fractions. A tentative identification of the main Zn binders in the six /sup 65/Zn fractions is given, using the collected data regarding their apparent molecular weight, time dependent prominence and content of stable Zn.
