title: A direct evidence for defect in glucose-6-phosphate transport system in hepatic microsomal membrane of glycogen storage disease type IB.
abstract: Uptake of glucose-6-phosphate by microsomes of hepatocyte in rats, human controls and patients with glycogen storage disease type Ia and Ib was studied. In rat the uptake of glucose-6-phosphate increased rapidly and reached to a plateau, but mannose-6-phosphate was not accumulated. These findings indicate that a glucose-6-phosphate specific transport system exists in the microsomal membrane. In human controls and patients with glycogen storage disease type Ia the uptake of glucose-6-phosphate was clearly observed. On the other hand, no accumulation of it was detected in a patient with glycogen storage disease type Ib. These data provide a direct evidence of the defect in the glucose-6-phosphate transport system of hepatic microsomal membrane in glycogen storage disease type Ib.
