1. Pyruvate carboxylase (EC 6.4.1.1), purified from rat liver mitochondria to a specific activity of 14 units/mg, was used for the preparation of antibodies in rabbits. 2. Tissue distribution studies showed that pyruvate carboxylase was present in all rat tissues that were tested, with considerable activities both in gluconeogenic tissues such as liver and kidney and in tissues with high rates of lipogenesis such as white adipose tissue, brown adipose tissue, adrenal gland and lactating mammary gland. 3. Immunochemical titration experiments with the specific antibodies showed no differences between the inactivation of pyruvate carboxylase from mitochondrial or soluble fractions of liver, kidney, mammary gland, brown adipose tissue or white adipose tissue. 4. The antibodies were relatively less effective in reactions against pyruvate carboxylase from sheep liver than against the enzyme from rat tissues. 5. Pyruvate carboxylase antibodies did not inactivate either propionyl-CoA carboxylase or acetyl-CoA carboxylase from rat liver. 6. It is concluded that pyruvate carboxylase in lipogenic tissues is similar antigenically to the enzyme in gluconeogenic tissues and that the soluble activities of pyruvate carboxylase detected in many rat tissues do not represent discrete enzymes but are the result of mitochondrial damage during tissue homogenization.
