Histochemical detection of creatine kinase ion the electrocyte of Electrophorus electricus (L.)

ABSTRACT

Detection of creatine kinase, which catalyzes the conversion of ADP and phosphocreatine to ATP and creatine, was performed an the electrocyte of Electrophorus electricus (L.) using a histoenzymological method based on the formation of blue colored formazan. The results indicate that the enzyme is mainly located within the cytoplasm of the electrolyte
