Noun

Meaning

(biochemistry) Any enzyme that catalyzes the production of glucose phosphate from glycogen and inorganic phosphate

Examples

Earl Sutherland explained in 1950, that the activity of phosphorylase was increased and thus glycogenolysis stimulated when liver slices were incubated with adrenalin and glucagon. Source: Internet

Carl and Gerty Cori found two forms of glycogen phosphorylase which they named A and B but did not correctly understand the mechanism of the B form to A form conversion. Source: Internet

He homogenized the liver into a membrane fraction and soluble fraction (phosphorylase is soluble), added norepinephrine to the membrane fraction, extracted its soluble products, and added them to the first soluble fraction. Source: Internet

The PLP-dependent transaminases and glycogen phosphorylase provide the vitamin with its role in gluconeogenesis, so deprivation of vitamin B 6 results in impaired glucose tolerance. Source: Internet

These enzymes are regulated in a reciprocal fashion, with phosphorylation inhibiting glycogen synthase, but activating phosphorylase. Source: Internet

They seem not to have glycogen phosphorylase, which is present in astrocytes to degrade glycogen. Source: Internet
