Abstract
The intracellular distribution of hepatic and renal gluconeogenic enzymes in 20-day-old chicken embryos and 4-week-old chickens (Gallus domesticus: New Hampshire male X Columbian female) has been studied. Pyruvate carboxylase, fructose-1,6-diphosphatase, and glucose-6-phosphatase were found primarily in the mitochondrial, cytosolic, and microsomal fractions, respectively. Phosphenolpyruvate carboxykinase was present not only in the mitochondria but also in the cytosol of the chicken liver and the kidney. The intracellular distribution of the liver enzyme differed from that of the kidney enzyme in chicken embryos as well as in growing chickens.
