GLYCOGENESIS AND
GLYCOGENOLYSIS
Glycogen
Storage form of glucose in animals.
Stored in the liver (6-8%) & muscle (1-2%).
Quantity more in the muscle(~250g) than
liver(75g) due to higher muscle mass.
Stored as granules in the cytosol.
Glycogen vs. Fat as source of energy:-
Fat cannot be rapidly metabolised like
glycogen.
Fat cannot generate energy in the absence of
oxygen.
Brain requires a continuous supply of
glucose, which come from glycogen.
Fat cannot produce glucose.

Glycogenesis :- Synthesis of glycogen from glucose.
Site :- Cytosol
Activated Glucose –UDP Glucose

TRANSFERAS
E GLYCOGEN
SYNTHASE
Glycogen Synthase transfers Glucose from UDP-Glucose to the non-reducing end of the
Glycogen to form α-1,4 linkages.
Branching enzyme :- Amylo α-1,4 1,6 transglucosidase (Glucosyl α-4-6 transferase)
Overall Reaction of Glycogenesis :-
(Glucose)n + Glucose + 2 ATP
(Glucose)n+1 + 2 ADP + Pi

Enzymes of Glycogenolysis :-
1. Glycogen Phosphorylase.
2. Debranching enzyme :
α-1 :4 Transferase, α-1,6 and α-1,4 glucosidase
3. Glucose - 6- phosphatase

Regulation of glycogenesis & Glycogenolysis
Key enzyme of Glycogenesis- Glycogen Synthase
Key enzyme of Glycogenolysis- Glycogen Phosphorylase
Three Regulatory Mechanisms
1. Allosteric Regulation.
2. Hormonal Regulation.
3. Influence of Calcium.
Allosteric Regulation of Glycogen Metabolism
:-
When substrate availability & energy level is high,
Glycogen synthesis is increased.
When glucose concentration is low & energy level
low, Glycogen breakdown is enhanced.
In well-fed state, Glucose-6-P allosterically activates
Glycogen Synthase. At the same time, allosterically
inhibits Glycogen Phosphorylase.
Free Glucose in the liver is also a allosteric inhibitor
of Glycogen Phosphorylase.

Hormonal Regulation of Glycogen Metabolism
:-
Hormones control Glycogen synthesis &
degradation by covalent modification ie.,
phosphorylation & Dephosphorylation.
cAMP acts as second messenger.
cAMP activates Protein Kinase.
Protein Kinase causes phosphorylation of
enzymes, either activating or deactivating them.

Effect of Calcium :-
Ca 2+ ions released from sarcoplasmic reticulum of
muscle
muscle contracts
Ca 2+ ions bind to calmodulin (calcium binding
protein)
Calcium calmodulin complex directly activates Protein Kinase
without the involvement of cAMP.
