Abstract The localization of fructose-1, 6-bisphosphatase (Fru-1, 6-Pase EC 3.1. 3.11) in
human alveolar epithelium was determined immunohistochemically using a polyclonal
antibody raised against the enzyme purified from human liver. The immunohistochemical

Abstract
The localization of fructose-1, 6-bisphosphatase (Fru-1, 6-Pase EC 3.1. 3.11) in human alveolar epithelium was determined immunohistochemically using a polyclonal antibody raised against the enzyme purified from human liver. The immunohistochemical analysis revealed that the Fru-1, 6-Pase was localized in pneumocytes 11 and was absent in pneumocytes 1. Hypothetically Fru-1, 6-Pase participating in glucose-6-phosphate synthesis from noncarbohydrate precursors increases NADPH leve1 which is used for surfactant synthesis and for glutathione redox cycle.
