Presence of glycerokinase in guinea pig mammary gland and the incorporation of glycerol into glycerides

Year: 1964

Type: article

Abstract: The presence of glycerokinase in homogenates of mammary tissue from lactating guinea pigs is demonstrated. It has been shown that α-glycerophosphate-C14 (chromatographically identified) is formed from glvcerol-1,3-C14 in the presence of homogenate. This reaction requires ATP and Mg++. Glycerol-C14 is incorporated into the glycerol moiety of glycerides via α-glycerophosphate. G1ucose-C14 can also serve as a source of glyceride glycerol.
