Two distinctly different activities of UDPG-glycogen transglucosylase were prepared from rat muscle in crude form. One activity did not require glucose-6-P, although stimulation could be detected at low concentrations of UDPG. This activity could be prepared by incubating a crude lyophilized enzyme preparation for 60 to 75 minutes at 30 in 0.05 M mercaptoethanol. The other activity, which was dependent on the presence of glucose-6-P, could be prepared by aging the muscle in the frozen state and by obtaining the enzyme associated with the 100,000 X g particulate fraction. Both activities were differentiated by kinetic measurements of the UDPG dependence in the presence of glucose-6-P and Mg++. The apparent K „under the varying conditions is given. Mg++ strongly stimulated the glucose-6-P independent activity, lowering the apparent K „with no alteration in V. Glucose-6-P, Mg++, or both togetherhad the same action. The glucose-6-P dependent activity was not stimulated by Mg~~ unless glucose-6-P was present. The stimulation due to glucose-6-P resulted fromgreatly increasing the V and, perhaps, from slightly decreasing the K „.Villar-Palasi and Lamer (1960a, b, 1961) dem-onstrated that extracts prepared from rat hemidiaphragms incubated with insulin exhibited in-creased UDPG-glycogen transglucosylase1 ac-tivity when measured in the absence of glucose-6-P. When measured in the presence of glucose-6-P, activities of extracts ofcontrol and insulintreated diaphragms were both increased and did not differ. This increase in enzyme activity without glucose-6-P was also observed after diaphragms were incubated with insulin in the absence of glucose in the medium. Steiner et al.(1961) reported a marked in-crease in transglucosylase activity in the livers of alloxan diabetic rats 2 to 4 hours after the injection of insulin. The differences noted in tissue extracts after pretreatment with insulin demon-strated an increased enzyme activity and a decreased sensitivity to glucose-6-P in the case of muscle. Differences in sensitivity to glucose-6-
