Histochemical and immunohistochemical staining techniques have been used to investigate the localization of hexokinase isoenzymes within rat kidney tissue. Hexokinase type I was shown to be the major isoenzyme present. It was located mainly in the thin and thick limbs of loops of Henle, in distal tubules and in the transitional or dark cells in the initial portions of collecting ducts. The smooth muscle cells of arteries and arterioles, peripheral nerves and the transitional epithelial cells lining the renal pyramid also contained large amounts of the isoenzyme while smaller quantities were present in glomeruli and in collecting tubules near the papillary tip. The distribution pattern obtained in tubular epithelia agrees well with that demonstrated in earlier microdissection studies. It is also consistent with the suggestion that glycolysis provides the majority of the energy fuelling the sodium transport mechanisms which form such an essential feature of the countercurrent urine concentration system present within the renal medulla.
