in thin sections from kidney, liver, heart, adrenal gland and anterior pituitary, strong and specific labeling due to fumarase antibody is only detected in mitochondria. In pancreatic acinar cells, in addition to mitochondria, highly significant labeling is also observed in the zymogen granules and endoplasmic reticulum

presence of lysine at amino acid position 481 in Dahl salt-sensitive rats and glutamic acid in Brown Norway and SS-13BN rats. The variation K481E likely contributes to the much higher specific activity of fumarase in SS-13BN rats. Total fumarase activity is significantly lower in the kidneys of Dahl salt-sensitive rats compared with SS-13BN rats, despite an apparent compensatory increase in fumarase abundance in Dahl salt-sensitive rats
the precursor of the mitochondrial enzyme has a larger molecular weight than the mature enzyme, whereas the precursor for the cytosolic enzyme has the same molecular weight as the mature enzyme. These two precursors of fumarase are coded by two different mRNAs
the activity of fumarase is lower in Dahl salt-sensitive SS rats compared with SS.13BN rats. SS.13BN rats have a Brown Norway (BN) allele of fumarase and exhibit attenuated hypertension. The SS allele of fumarase differs from the BN allele by a K481E sequence variation

entire protein-coding region of fumarase cDNA cloned from Dahl salt-sensitive, SS-13BN, and Brown Norway rats. PCR product inserted into the T-easy vector and propagated in competent Escherichia coli
the degradation of cell membranes in connection with necrosis leads to elevated fumarase activity in plasma and urine and hyperpolarized [1,4-13C2]malate production 24 h after reperfusion correlates with renal necrosis in a 40-min unilateral ischemic rat model. Fumarase activity screening on bio-fluids can detect injury severity. After verification of renal injury by bio-fluid analysis the precise injury location can be monitored by in vivo measurements of the fumarase activity non-invasively by hyperpolarized [1,4-13C]fumarate magnetic resonance imaging
