Abstract: | The existence of glucose-6-phosphate transport across the liver microsomal membrane is still controversial. In this paper, we show that S3483, a chlorogenic acid derivative known to inhibit glucose-6-phosphatase in intact microsomes, caused the intravesicular accumulation of glucose-6-phosphate when the latter was produced by glucose-6-phosphatase from glucose and carbamoyl-phosphate. S3483 also inhibited the conversion of glucose-6-phosphate to 6-phosphogluconate occurring inside microsomes in the presence of electron acceptors (NADP or metyrapone). These data indicate that liver microsomal membranes contain a reversible glucose-6-phosphate transporter, which furnishes substrate not only to glucose-6-phosphatase, but also to hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. |
