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.
