Abstract

The cellular localization of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) in the mouse epididymis was investigated using differential substrate specificities and genetic variation as a means of distinguishing these enzymes histochemically in tissue sections. ADH-C2 exhibited high activity in BALB/c epididymis and was observed as a discrete zone within duct epithelial cells near the nuclei. This isozyme exhibited no detectable activity in C57BL/6J epididymis extracts or histochemical sections.
