Localization of glucuronic acid-containing glycosaminoglycans in the gerbil utricle was examined, using a hyaluronidase-gold labeling technique with special emphasis on the otoconia. Otoconia and the gelatinous layer of the otoconial membrane were strongly labeled by hyaluronidase-gold. The secretory granules in supporting cells were also strongly labeled, suggesting that the organic matrix of otoconia is secreted from the supporting cells. Otoconia seem to lose labeling while they degenerated. The degenerating otoconia were observed to be absorbed into dark cells. Glucuronic acid-containing glycosaminoglycans occur in otoconia. These glycosaminoglycans may play a crucial role in the formation and degeneration of otoconia.
