Abstract

The specific activity of adenosine diphosphatase (ADPase) was determined in rat tissue homogenates using a specific radioassay. 14 different tissues were sampled and activity was found in most homogenates examined. The levels ranged from very little activity in the pancreas to high levels in the duodenum and ileum. High levels of ADPase activity found in the gastrointestinal tract could be partially attributed to non-specific alkaline phosphatase. It is concluded that ADPase activity is widely distributed in rat tissues.
