The enzyme Glycogen Phosphorylase- Catalyzes phosphorolysis – Cleavage of a bond by group

transfer to an oxygen atom of phosphate

- Glycogen phosphorylase removes glucose residues fromthe end of glycogen

- Acts only on a-14 linkages of a glycogen polymer

- The product is glucose 1-phosphate, which is convertedto glucose 6-phosphate

Metabolism of Glucose 1-Phosphate

Phosphoglucomutase catalyzes the conversion of glucose 1-phosphate to glucose 6-phosphate

Hormones Regulate Glycogen Metabolism

- Insulin produced by b-cells of the pancreas in response to high blood glucose (the “fed” state)

- Insulin increases the rate of glucose transport into muscle andadipose tissue via the glucose transporter (GLUT 4)

- Glucagon is secreted by the a-cells of the pancreas in responseto low blood glucose (the fasting state)

- Glucagon stimulates glycogen degradation to restore blood glucose to steady-state levels

- Epinephrine (adrenaline) is released from the adrenal glands in response to sudden energy requirements (“fight or flight”)

Hormones Regulate Glycogen Metabolism

- Epinephrine and glucagon stimulates the breakdown of glycogento glucose 1-phosphate
