Glycogenolysis is the process of converting the food storage carbohydrate polymer glycogen into glucose for the body to use as energy. Glycogen is a polysaccharide â a long sugar chain â of glucose molecules with side branches. It is a way for animal cells to store excess carbohydrates until needed.
Glycogen is a polymer of glucose residues linked mainly by a(1 4) glycosidic linkages. There are a(1 6) linkages at branch points. The chains and branches are longer than shown. Glucose is stored as glycogen predominantly in liver and muscle cells.ontents of this page: Review of glycogen structure Glycogen phosphorylase Debranching enzyme Fate of glucose-1-P in relation to other pathways Glycogen synthesis Regulation of glycogen metabolism Genetic diseases of glycogen metabolism.
