Glycogenolysis
É
The process of glycogenolysis is breaking down the
Écoge
gÉ
glycogen polymer. This metabolism happens in the liver and
muscle cells when:
phosphorylase
1.The blood glucose level is low (hypoglycemia).

2. During a fasting state.
3. The stimulation of hormones (Glucagon, epinephrine and
norepinephrine). i

Let's begin the procedures.
Firstly, the Glycogen Phosphorylase enzyme flings the
phosphate group to an alpha-1,4-glycosidic bond to break
the bond and form one molecule called Glucose-1-P. And it
keeps adding the phosphate to the other bonds. Until it
stops at the fourth glucose away from the a-1,6-
glycosidic bond. The transfer of the phosphates onto the
glucose is performed by Pyridoxal phosphate (PLP). It's a
derivative of vitamin B6. Gas

Another enzyme will continue the work by cutting the
a-1,4-Glycosidic bond between the first and second j p
glucose. And then transfer the three glucose molecules to
D p p D
another branch. After that, he will release the last glucose
molecule on the branch by cutting an a-1,6-glycosidic bond.

This enzyme is called (The debranching enzyme). The

Then again, the glycogen phosphorylase will keep doing its
work at the new branching stopping at the fourth glucose
