Abstract
Summary
Alanylglycine peptidase occurs in unfertilized eggs, cleavage and later developmental stages of Mytilus edulis. Peptidases, with alanylglycine and leucylglycine as substrates, were determined quantitatively in isolated first cleavage blastomeres. No significant differences in activities of these enzymes were found and it is concluded that the segregation of developmental factors at the first cleavage is not related to activities of these enzymes.
