Q

Glycogen synthase allosteric regulation

A

activated by G-6-P

25
Q

Order of initial steps in Glycogen synthesis

A

G-6-P –> G-1-P

G-1-P + UTP –> UDP-Glucose

26
Q

Pyrophosphate cleaved so that glycogenin (protein) can

A

synthesize the primer to start glycogen chain

27
Q

Only enzyme in this exam that is active in phosphorylated form
