Abstract

The distribution of sulfated mucopolysaccharides in different rat tissues and in their respective mitochondria is reported. It is shown that each tissue has a characteristic composition, differing from each other regarding the relative amount, type and molecular size of chondroitin sulfate A C , chondroitin sulfate B, and heparitin sulfate. It is also shown that the mucopolysaccharide composition of the mitochondria is similar to the composition of the tissue of origin. The possible biological functions of these compounds are discussed in view of this characteristic distribution.
