1
New cards
glycogen
quick release energy source
major carb storage
alpha-1,4 and alpha-1,6 (branching allows fast glucose release)
in liver and muscle
2
New cards
phosphorylase a
releases 1-4 glucose as glucose-1-phosphate
cleaves alpha 1-4 via inorganic phosphate
NO ATP used
cannot attack near 1-6 branching
3
New cards
transferase
converts 1-6 glucose to 1-4 glucose
shifts block of glucose to nearby chain
4
New cards
alpha 1-6 glycosidase
hydrolyzes 1-6 link at branched part after transferase
5
New cards
phosphoglucomutase
convert glucose-1-phosphate to glucose-6-phosphate (taken into glycolysis)
