Abstract
Using the technique of direct immunofluorescence, ligandin, and abundant soluble organic anion binding protein was localized to the cytoplasm of hepatocytes, proximal renal tubular epithelium, and epithelial cells of the proximal, mid and distal small intestine of rat, hamster and man. The localization and abundance of ligandin, variety of organic anions that are bound, and its activity as a gluthathione transferase suggest that this cytoplasmic protein is important in determining the net intracellular content of organic anions and in nonoxidative detoxification.
