Description
Incorporation of (35S)-sulfate into glycosaminoglycans (GAG) of toadfish islets of Langerhans in vitro was examined. (35S)-sulfated GAG were synthesized by a component of the microsomal fraction, and subsequently transferred to the secretion granules, mitochondria and nuclei. The predominant type of GAG synthesized was heparan sulfate, but chondroitin 4- and 6-sulfate and dermatan sulfate were also found. 36 references, 3 tables
