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 high molecular mass polysaccharide that serves as a repository of glucose for use in times of metabolic need. Glycogen synthase (EC 2.4.1.11) catalyzes the addition of glucose monomers to the growing glycogen molecule through the formation of alpha-1,4-glycoside linkages (Pederson et al., 2004).2007) summarized the functions of muscle glycogen synthase and liver glycogen synthase, the key enzymes of glycogen synthesis, encoded by the GYS1 and GYS2 (138571) genes, respectively. The liver enzyme expression is restricted to the liver, whereas the muscle enzyme is ubiquitously expressed.
