The GnT I activity in bFF had a pH optimum of 5.8 and an absolute requirement for either Co2+, Mn2+, or Mg2+, the activity being stimulated by these cations in the above order. The apparent Km value for α1-3α1-6 mannopentaose of GnT I in bFF was 2.17 mM. The substrate specificity for the GnT I activity decreased in the following order: α1-3α1-6 mannopentaose> α1-3α1-6 mannotriose>α1-3 mannobiose. The GnT I activity in bFF from large atretic follicles was significantly higher than in that from large dominant follicles. Moreover there was no significant difference between the GnT I activities in bFF from dominant follicles collected before and after surge of luteinizing hormone (LH surge). These data suggest that the GnT I activity in bFF may reflect functional changes in the microenvironment which lead to follicular atresia.}, pages = {315--320}, title = {N-Acetylglucosaminyltransferase I Activity in Bovine Ovarian Follicular Fluids from Dominant and Atretic Follicles}, volume = {51}, year = {2004} }
