glycogen metabolism
Biosci 106
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Step1 | Glucose--->Glucose-6-Phosphate -Hexo/glucokinse |
| Step2 | Glucose-6-Phosphate---> Glucose-1-Phosphate -phosphogluco mutase |
| Step3 | Glucose-1-phosphate + UTP----->UDP-Glucose + pyrophosphate -UDP pyrophosphorylase |
| UDP-Glucose | building block for glycogen, added to polymer by glycogen synthase |
| glycogen synthase | forms uses UDP-glucose & adds to polymer forming a1-4 links |
| Branching enzyme | breaks off 6-7glycosyl fragments, adds to C6-OH on main chain, forms a1-6 branch |
| Glycogen synthesis | a1-4 bonds & a1-6linkages -branching every 8-10 residues |
| Glyconeogenesis | -during stress,exercise&starvation -release of glycogen -cleavage of 1-4achains |
| cleavage | -by glycogen phosphorylase cleaves a1-4 -adds P -yields G1P |
| G1P--->G6P | same enzyme used as reverse -Phosphoglucomutase -G3P can now be used in glycolysis |
| Debranching enzyme | -bifunctional *cleaves 1-6abranches *transfers a1-4 linked glucose from branch to closes 4hydroxyl end & cleaves off remaining glucose |
