Abstract
1. 1. Glycogen synthase I and D activities were found in homogenates of oyster adductor muscle and digestive diverticula. 2. 2. Upon starvation the ratio of GSI/GS(I + D) increased in both tissues in summer animals. 3. 3. Kinetic characteristics of the purified enzyme from the adductor muscle were found to be: K m(UDPG) = 0.86 mM, K a(G6P) = 0.15 mM for the D form of the enzyme; K m(UDPG) = 7.09 mM for the I form of the enzyme. 4. 4. Addition of glucose to muscle homogenates resulted in increases in the GSI/GS(I + D) ratio within 10 min.
