Immunohistochemical staining of CARP VIII proteins in mouse tissues. CARP VIII was observed moderately in the liver hepatocytes (A), ducts (*) and acini (arrows) of the submandibular gland (C), gastric glands (arrows in D), respiratory epithelium (arrowhead), and rounded alveolar cells (arrows) of the lung (G). Extremely low expression was observed in the pancreatic Langerhans islets (*in B), colonic glands (arrows in E), and occasionally in the tubule cells of the kidney (arrow in F indicates positive macula densa cells). No staining was present in the skeletal muscle (H) and testis (I). Original magnifications are at × 20.
