Abstract
Experiments with rat liver microsomal galactosyltransferase has been developed to test the effect of cyclic nucleotides on the transfer activity. An overall stimulation is observed when cAMP or cGMP (concentration higher that 10(-6) M) are added to the incubation medium. However, more detailed experiments show that the cyclic nucleotides do not act as direct effectors of the enzyme but present the precursors degradation by the glycosylnucleotide pyrophosphatases.
