Study Notes

Glycogen Metabolism

  • The starting material for the formation of glucose 1-phosphate is not glucose itself, but rather a derivative of glucose.

Glycogenesis

  • Glycogenesis is the metabolic pathway by which glycogen is synthesized from glucose 6-phosphate.

UDP-Glucose Formation

  • UDP-glucose is formed from glucose 1-phosphate activated by the high energy compound UTP, not ATP.

Glycogenolysis

  • Glycogenolysis is the metabolic pathway by which glycogen is broken down, not synthesized, from glucose 6-phosphate.

Initial Step of Glycogenolysis

  • The first step of glycogenolysis is the phosphorylation of a glucose residue, involving the breakdown of glycogen.
