Glycogenolysis is the
breakdown of
glycogen (n) to glucose-1-phosphate and
glycogen (n-1).
Glycogen branches are
catabolized by the
sequential removal...
-
Glycogenesis is the
process of
glycogen synthesis, in
which glucose molecules are
added to
chains of
glycogen for storage. This
process is
activated during...

Glycogen synthase (UDP-glucose-
glycogen glucosyltransferase) is a key
enzyme in glycogenesis, the
conversion of
glucose into
glycogen. It is a glycosyltransferase...
