Abstract

The localization of approximately 28,000 relative molecular mass with calcium-binding protein (calbindin-D28k) was investigated in the kidney of beech marten (Martes foina Erxleben, 1777). Positive cells for calbindin-D28k were found in the distal tubule by the immunohistochemical ABC technique. No reaction was seen in the proximal tubules, loops of Henle and glomeruli. Calbindin-D28k plays a significant role in calcium reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule of kidney.
