The cortical actinin contents was found to be higher in the inner medulla of the rat kidney. Tropomyosin was distributed differently: it is lower in the cortex than in outer or inner medulla. The processes controlled by these proteins seem to be important for the vasopressin renal effects, and the irregular distribution of these proteins reflects participation of different renal areas in facultative water reabsorption.
