PICK1 is present in mouse chromaffin cells and partly colocalizes with syntaxin-6. A, Western blot analysis of whole adrenal glands verified expression of PICK1 in the WT and its elimination in the KO mice. Actin was used as a loading control. B, Immunostaining for both PICK1 (red channel) and CgA (green channel) in chromaffin cells from WT (top row) and PICK1 KO (bottom row) mice. PICK1 localized to a perinuclear region, reminiscent of the TGN, but was absent from CgA-positive secretory granules. C, Immunostaining for both PICK1 (red channel) and syntaxin-6 (green channel) in chromaffin cells from WT (top row) and PICK1 KO (bottom row) mice. PICK1 partially colocalized with syntaxin-6, suggesting its presence on immature vesicles budding from the TGN. Scale bars: B, C, 5 μm.
