conversion of glycogen into glucose and its regulation
Transcript of Glycogenolysis
Carbohydrate metabolism
GLYCOENOLYSIS
GLYCOENOLYSIS
• Break down of glycogen into glucose• It takes place in liver ad muscles• Key enzyme is glycogen phosphorylase
Reactions
• Shortening of chains• Removal of branches• Glucose-1-phosphate to G-6-Phosphate
Other pathway
• Lysosomal degradation(alpha amylosis)• Gemma-amylosis
Regulation
• Activation of Phosphorylase• Activation of inhibitor-1• Role of calcium in glycogenolysis in muscles
