Abstract
Summary
The glycogen-metabolizing organelle of rat liver was separated by precipitation with the bean lectin concanavalin A. Attached to these particles are enzymes involved in glycogen synthesis and degradation. By activation of phosphorylase in vitro, the glycogen polymer was totally degraded leaving in solution the glycogen-associated proteins. These were separated by electrophoresis in acrylamide gels which showed the variety of protein found attached to liver glycogen in the cell.
