The localization of transcortin (CBG) in pituitary cells of the rat was investigated using the peroxydase-antiperoxydase (PAP) technique. A rabbit antiserum against purified rat plasma transcortin was used as the primary antiserum. Transcortin-like (CBG-like) immunoreactive products were found in the cytoplasma of certain cells in the anterior pituitary, but not in the intermediate lobe and weakly in the posterior pituitary. It is postulated that the CBG-like molecules participate in the cellular uptake process of corticosterone, thereby modulating the feedback signal of this steroid on pituitary function.
