Glycogen is a polysaccharide that is the principal storage form of glucose (Glc) in animal and human cells.
Glycogen is found in the form of granules in the cytosol in many cell types.
Hepatocytes (liver cells) have the highest concentration of it - up to 8% of the fresh weight in well fed state, or 100-120 g in an adult.
In the muscles, glycogen is found in a much lower concentration (1% of the muscle mass), but the total amount exceeds that in liver.
Small amounts of glycogen are found in the kidneys, and even smaller amounts in certain glial cells in the brain and white blood cells.
Glycogen plays an important role in the glucose cycle
I believe its glycogen found in liver and muscles which is made of glucose to give us energy
Glycogen is made up of glucose monomers. These monomers are combine in alpha-1,4 linkages with alpha 1,6 linkages used to create branches. Glycogen also has a small protein component that is used to initiate the glycogen polymer called glyocgenin.
STARCH in plants. GLYCOGEN in animals.
It is the conversion of glycogen from a non-reducing sugar to a reducing sugar by splitting all of its glycosidic bonds to produces numerous glucose molecules
A lack of glycogen may cause a lack of energy, but to much glycogen could cause GSDI, type 1, which can give you hypoglycemia, which can lead to seizures.
glycogen
Polysaccharides are made up of carbohydrate molecules, monosaccharides, and glycosidic linkages. Examples of polysaccharides are starch and glycogen.
I believe its glycogen found in liver and muscles which is made of glucose to give us energy
6 ring structure, simple carbohydrate, contains an ether bond, can be used to make glycogen, maltose, etc... a monosaccaride.
Glycogen same as the animals kingdom
glycogen cardiomyopathy
glycogen phosphorylase, glycogen debranching enzyme, phosphoglutomutase
Glycogen in form of glucose.
i think glucose ..it convert into glycogen by the help of glycogen
Glycogen phosphorylase can not cleave the alpha-1,6-glycosidic bonds at glycogen branch points
glycogen
Glycogen synthesis is an endergonic reaction that utilizes UTP to form UDP-glucose. UDP-glucose is then turned into glycogen by the glycogen synthase enzyme.
