Abstract
The presence of glucosamine-6-phosphate deaminase, which reversibly degrades glucosamine 6-phosphate into fructose 6-phosphate and ammonia, has been established in the connective tissue developed by the subcutaneous implantation of cotton pellets. Some of the properties of this enzyme are described. It is observed that carrageenin is without any effect on the induction of the enzyme during the development of the granulomata. Pharmacologically high doses of cortisone, however, inhibit the glucosamine-6-phosphate deaminase activity both in ordinary granulomata and in those induced by carrageenin.
