Phosphate, inorganic glycogen breakdown

In both liver and muscle, glycogen breakdown is initiated by the enzyme phosphorylase which catalyses the sequential removal of terminal glucosyl residues from the branches of the glycogen molecule by phosphorolytic cleavage. The presence of inorganic phosphate is essential and the glucosyl residues are released in the form of glucose 1-phosphate. Phosphorylase is unable to... [Pg.234]
