Syntaxin 17 localization in hepatocytes. Ultrathin
cryosection (A) and Epon section (B) of rat hepatocytes, both showing
the SER-rich region adjacent to a bile capillary (BC). (A) Immunogold
label for syntaxin 17 (10-nm gold) is predominantly associated with the
SER, whereas RER cisternae (ER) show little or no labeling. (B) The
highly convoluted SER membranes are more clearly delineated in Epon
sections. M, mitochondrion; P, peroxisome. Bars, 200 nm (A) and 500 nm
(B).
