Abstract
During postnatal development, UDP-Gal: GlcNAc(beta 1-4)-galactosyltransferase (4 beta-GT) and UDP-Gal:GalNAc(beta 1-3)-galactosyltransferase (3 beta-GT) activities were increased by 17- and 24-fold, respectively, in the rat small intestine. The injection of cortisone into suckling rats resulted in precocious induction of distal 4 beta- and 3 beta-GT activities by 2.7- and 1.8-fold, respectively. Injection of phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) resulted in precocious induction of distal 3 beta-GT by 2.7-fold. These results suggest that intestinal galactosyltransferase activities are under developmental regulation and can be modified by cortisone and PMA.Entities:
