The histochemical localization of glucose-6-phosphatase activity in neonatal mouse liver was studied under electron microscopy. The activity was demonstrated in the tubular endoplasmic reticulum, which pervades the glycogen areas of the cell during glycogenolysis. Activity was also demonstrated in the nuclear envelope and ergastoplasm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
