Abstract
Galactosamine-1- 14C was found to be incorporated into rat liver glycogen as glucosamine following perfusion or intraportal injection. The glucosamine was shown to be glycosidically linked to glucose by isolation of a disaccharide containing glucose and glucosamine after β-amylase treatment of the glycogen. The incorporation appears to be mediated by UDP-glucosamine, which substitutes for UDPG in the glycogen synthetase reaction.
