Abstract
During the investigation of the histochemical synthesis of glycogen particles from glucose 1-phosphate by the phosphorylase-branching glycosyltransferase system in various tissue cells, it was observed that focal synthesis localized in a certain area of the cytoplasm occurred in some cells. This differed from the usual synthesis in which particles of similar size were synthesized within the cytoplasm. Otherwise, cytoplasmic particles of various size were also synthesized in other cells under the same histochemical condition. The possible significance of the presence of these patterns in glycogen synthesis is discussed.
