The microsomal fraction of liver has been found to catalyze glucose transfer from UDPG to a lipid acceptor which appears to be identical to the compound obtained by chemical phosphorylation of dolichol. The substance formed (dolichol monophosphate glucose) is acid labile and yields 1,6-anhydroglucosan by alkaline treatment. It can be used as substrate by the enzyme system yielding a glucoprotein which is subsequently hydrolyzed to glucose.
