Abstract:The activities of the hydrolases, a-L-fucosidase, N-acetyl-0-Dglucosaminidase (NAG), and zpacoumase appear to be involved in the regression of the cement gland in Xenopus laeuis. The involution of the gland is marked by an important rise of the total as well as the specific activities of a-L-fucosidase and zpacoumase. The specific activity of a-L-fucosidase and of zpacoumase increases about five-fold and eight-fold, respectively, after 12 days of development. Although total activity of NAG decreases during inv… Show more
