Electron microscopic studies of rat prostatic epithelium, showed acid phosphatase to be present largely in localized areas of the cytoplasmic matrix, lacking in many cases structures which would be comparable... 

Contrary to the cytochrome P-450 system, most hepatic Phase II enzymes are located in the cytoplasmic matrix. In order for these reactions to occur efficiently, adequate activity of the enzymes involved is essential. In addition, it is clear that adequate intracellular contents of cofactors such as NADPH,... 

Fig. 4. Electron micrographs of L-Asp-LI and L-GIu-LI in hippocampus CAl from a hypoglycemic rat subjected to perfusion fixation. The tissue was treated with uranyl acetate before embedding in epoxy resin. The figure shows accumulation of immunoreactivities over synaptic vesicle clusters (sv) versus over cytoplasmic matrix (cm) in terminals making asymmetrical synapses on spines (s). Broken lines mark the houndary between the vesicle-rich and vesicle-poor parts of the terminals. Scale bar = 0.2 pm. (Modified from Gundersen et al., 1998.)...

The shikimic acid pathway leading to the production of chorismic acid is regulated in the cytosol of the fungal cells. Cytosol or intracellular fluid (cytoplasmic matrix) is a complex mixture of substances dissolved in water. These include ions (such as calcium, sodium, and potassium), macromolecules, and large complexes of enzymes that act together to carry out metabolic pathways. Production of chorismic acid in the cytosol is ultimately utilized in the synthesis of folate, ubiquinone, and amino acids, the most important of which is tryptophan which plays a major role in the biosynthesis of psilocybin. 

Endoplasmic Reticulum A complex pattern of membranes that pemieates the cytoplasmic matrix of cells. Endothermic The absorption of heat. Endothermic materials produce products with more total energy than the reacting substance. 

A few similar particles are seen in the cytoplasmic matrix, m, mitochondria. (Approx. X 40,000.) (From Keith R. Porter in The Cell, vol. 2, edited by J. Brachet and A. E. Mirsky, Academic Press, New York, 1961.)...
