Colocalization of angiotensinogen and glial fibrillary acidic protein in astrocytes in rat brain

Brain Res. 1986 May 21;374(1):195-8. doi: 10.1016/0006-8993(86)90411-7.

Abstract

Angiotensinogen is produced in the brain, but its precise localization and the cells in the central nervous system producing it are unknown. We have performed a double staining test for angiotensinogen and glial fibrillary acidic protein in rat brain and report here that these proteins colocalize in astrocytes.
