Abstract
Rat liver membranes were subjected to centrifugation in a sucrose density gradient in which the Golgi apparatus was separated into several subfractions. Two enzymes involved in the synthesis of the phosphorylated recognition marker in lysosomal enzymes, UDP-N-acetylglucosamine:lysosomal enzyme precursor N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphotransferase and alpha-N-acetylglucosaminyl phosphodiesterase fractionated with alpha-1,2-mannosidase, a marker enzyme of cis Golgi membranes and differently from galactosyltransferase, a marker enzyme of trans Golgi membranes.
