Exam 2 Zaidi Flashcards
glucose sensor in liver cells is what
glycogen phosphorylase
GSD 0
glycogen synthase
GSD1 = von Gierke disease
glucose 6 phosphatase
insufficient release of free glucose into blood by liver
GSD2 = pompe disease
acid maltase = a- glucosidase
used in lysosomal glycogen degradation pathway
ERT = enzyme replacement therapy (recombinant)
GSD 3 = cori disease
debranching enzymes = a-1,6-glucosidase activity
GSD 4 = andersen disease
glucosyl (4:6) transferase
GSD 5 = mcardle disease
muscle glycogen phosphorylase
more serious than GSD 6
GSD 6 = hers disease
liver glycogen phosphorylase
disorders affecting glycogen breakdown lead to
hepatomegaly, hypoglycemia
disorders affecting glycogen synthesis lead to
patients being dependent on glucose not glycogen
