GLYCOGENOLYSIS
Breakdown of glycogen into glucose
1. Phosphorylasis
Glycogen phosphorylase cleave α 1, 4 glycosidic bonds
sequentially (from non reducing end of glycogen) to yield
glucose 1 phosphate, continues until 4 glucose residues remain
on the either side of branching to form limit dextrin.
α 1, 6-bond α 1, 4-bonds
Glycogen
2. Debranching
Glycosyl tranferase removes fragments of Pi
Glycogen Phosphorylase 1
3-4 glucose of branch chain and transfer
them to another chain
Glucose-1-Phosphate
3. Cleavage of α 1, 6-bond by α
1-6 glucosidase activity. Release
of a free glucose
Limit dextrin
4. Remaining molecule of glycogen is again
cleaved by phosphorylase and debranching 2
Debranching enzyme (Tranferase activity)
enzyme to repeat the reaction 1 to 3.
