1
Q

End product of glycogenolysis

A

Glucose-1-P

2
Q

Enzymes of glycogenolysis

A

1) Glycogenphosphorylase (GP)
2) Glycogen debranching enzyme (cleaves a-1,6)
3) Phosphoglucomutase (moves 3 sugars)

3
Q

Branch point of glycogen is what kind of bond?

A

a-1,6

4
Q

Lengths of glycogen bound by what type of bond?

A

a-1,4

5
Q

Cleaves glycogen to form a G-1-P

A

Glycogenphosphorylase

6
Q

Removes 3 glucose molecules near the a-1,6 branch point and places them on non-reducing end of another chain

A

transferase

7
Q

Co-factor used in glycogenphosphatase

A

Vitamin B6

8
Q

Cleaves the a-1,6 bond and removes the G-1-P by that bond

A

a-1,6 debranching enzyme (AKA “a-1,6 glucosidase”)

9
Q

Moves the glucose released by the a-1,6 debranching enzyme to another free end of glycogen.

A

transferase

10
Q

Location of glucose-6-phosphatase

A

liver endoplasmic reticulum

11
Q

Phosphoglucomutase

A

Converts G-1-P to G-6-P

12
Q
Mutation to G-6-Pase in liver/kidney. Results in severe hypoglycemia, as glucose is not cleaved from glycogen.
A. GSD II Pompe
B. GSD V McArdle
C. GSD IV Hers
D. GSD I Von Gierke
A

D. GSD I Von Gierke

13
Q
Mutation to muscle phosphorylase. Prevents the release of glucose from glycogen during heavy exercise, resulting in decreased muscle contraction.
A. GSD II Pompe
B. GSD V McArdle
C. GSD IV Hers
D. GSD I Von Gierke
A

B. GSD V McArdle

14
Q
Mutation of liver phosphorylase. Causes severe hypoglycemia. Like Type I GSD, but mild.
A. GSD II Pompe
B. GSD V McArdle
C. GSD IV Hers
D. GSD I Von Gierke
A

C. GSD IV Hers

15
Q
Mutation to alpha-1,4-glucosidase. Inability to cleave glycogen, causing severe hypoglycemia and increased glycogen stores. Usually fatal before 2 years of age.
A. GSD II Pompe
B. GSD V McArdle
C. GSD IV Hers
D. GSD I Von Gierke
A

A. GSD II Pompe

16
Q

Deactivation of GS in the face of high glucose levels is accomplished via _____.

A. PFK
B. PKA
C. GSK
D. PP1

A

C. GSK (Addition of Pi to GS deactivates the enzyme, and stops glycogen synthesis)
