quiz 2.3 glycogen Flashcards
weight contribution of glycogen in the liver and skeletal muscle
20% in liver
1-2% in skel muscle
muscle glycogen quickly provides energy during when
strenuous exercise like studying, practicals, thesis-ing
explain itsura ng glycogen
sorage form of glucose, highly branched polysacch of glucose linked via alpha 1-4 bonds with alpha 1-6 branches every 8-10
the only anomeric carbon that is not linked to another glucose residue that is located at the beginning
glycogenin
features of glycogenin
only anomeric carbon
@ the beginning of the polysacch chain
starting point of glycogen synthesis
formation of gluc-6-PO4
2nd step in glycogen synth
glucose-6-PO4 is converted to gluc-1-PO4 by phosphoglucomutase
in the 2nd step, gluc-4-PO4 is converted to ______ by _______
gluc-1-PO4
phosphoglucomutase
in the 3rd step, gluc-1-PO4 is converted to ___ by ____
UDP-glucose
UDP-glucose pyrophosphates
the 3rd step is highly exergonic so it ensures that the UDP-glucose pyrophosphate proceeds in the direction of formation of
UDP-glucose
immediate donor of glucose residues in the reaction catalyzed by glycogen synthesis
UDP-glucose
this enzyme promotes the transfer of the glucose residue from UDP-glucose to the nonreducing end of a branched glycogen molecule
glycogen synthase
a primer in glycogenesis acts as what or how
acceptor of glucose residue from UDP-glucose
possible primers in glycogen synthesis
pre-formed alpha 1-4 polyglucose or branch having at least 8 gluc residues (glycogen fragment)
in the absence of a glycogen fragment, _ can act as glucose residue acceptor
glycogenin
serves as the site where the initial glucosyl unit is attached
side chain -OH os a spefici tyrosine in glycogenin
whta catalyzes the attachment of the glucosyl unit in the side chain OH of specific tyrosine in the glycogenin
glycogenin thru autoglucosylation
the rxn of the sequential addition of seven more glucose residues derived from UDP-glucose is catalyzed by the __________ activity of glycogenin
chain-extending
the elongation of glycogen involves the transfer of glucose from DUG-glucose ti the _______ of the growing chain
nonreducing end
the enzyme responsible for making the linear linkages in glycogen
glycogen synthase
what forms the branch points of glycogen
amylo(1-4) to (1-6) transglycosylase/ glycogen 4-6 transferase
catalyzes the transfer of 6 or 7 glucose residues from the nonreducing end of a glycogen branch having at least 11 residues to the C-6 OH group of a glucose reside at a more interior portion of the same or another glycogen chsin
amylo(1-4) to (1-6) transglycosylase/ glycogen 4-6 transferase
biological effect of branching is to make the glycogen ___
more soluble and to increase number of nonreducing ends
3 enzymes involved in glycogenolysis
glycogen phosphorylase
glycogen debranching enzyme
phosphoglucomutase
