Binders of intravenously administered 65-zinc in rat liver cytoplasm

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7219744

The fate of an intravenously injected trace dose of Zn-65(2+) in the rat was studied over a period of 10 days after injection. Tissue distributions were determined and a special study was made of Zn-65 binders 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 hr after the injection, the most prominent cytoplasmatic Zn-65 binders are the 133,000, 66,400, and 23,000 molecular weight fractions. A tentative identification of the main Zn binders in the six Zn-65 fractions is given, using the collected data regarding their apparent molecular weight, time dependent prominence, and content of stable Zn.
