Abstract
Phosphorylase and amylo-1,6-glucosidase catalyze the reversible reaction glucose-1-phosphate to glycogen. Breast tissue abounds in both enzymes, in contrast to apocrine sweat glands, which have none. This suggests that these two tissues have a profoundly different metabolic activity, even though breast tissue has been considered to be a modified apocrine sweat gland.Keywords
