The regulation of the synthesis/degradation done by allosteric and hormonal aspects
Description
There are two key enzymes regulating the process of synthesis/degradation of glycogen:
- Glycogen synthase
- Glycogen phosphorylase
Both enzymes have an active and inactive form.
Kinases are going to phosphorylate them (adding a phosphate), and phosphatases are going to dephosphorylate them (removing a phosphate).
Glycogen synthase
Glycogen synthase is a dimer.
