There were studied activities and properties of mitochondrial and microsomal glucose6-phosphatases (G6Pases) in the free-living turbellarian Phagocata sibirica and cestode Bothriocephalus scorpii. Action of various effectors (sodium fluoride, glucose, HCO3, citrate, Cu2+, DTT, EDTA, ATP, ADP) on the enzyme activity was studied. The obtained results and literature data demonstrate that G6Pase is present in various muscles of different representatives of the animal kingdom. The conclusion could be made that invertebrate G6Pase releases glucose from glycogen and gluconeogenic precursors.
