[Glycosyltranferases. Biological and pathological importance].
Catalysing the transfer of oses and ose derivatives on various accepters, glucosyltransferases are of increasing importance in biology and pathology. Their sub-cellular localisation is now known together with the physico-chemical parameters of their activity and the importance of polyprenic intermediates. The first phenomenological studies concerning them are in favour of a mechanism of Bi-Bi type. For example, they may play a role in mucoviscidosis, virus diseases, vaccination and arthrosis.
