The localization of beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase activity in 6 different segments of the epididymis was investigated in 8 stallions using biochemical and histochemical methods. The highest enzyme activity was found in segment D while the other segments displayed a much weaker reaction There was no or only low enzyme activity present in the epididymal fluid of the proximal 3 segments, whereas it was high in the distal 3 segments. The biological function of beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase in the epididymis is discussed briefly.
