    In addition to glycogen breakdown with the glycogen debranching enzyme and the glycogen phosphorylase enzyme, cells also use the enzyme acid alpha-glucosidase in lysosomes to degrade glycogen. A deficiency of an involved enzyme results in: Accumulation of glycogen in the cells; Lack of cellular energy negatively affects the involved organs

  3. Glycogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycogen

    Glycogen (black granules) in spermatozoa of a flatworm; transmission electron microscopy, scale: 0.3 μm. Glycogen is a multibranched polysaccharide of glucose that serves as a form of energy storage in animals, [2] fungi, and bacteria. [3] It is the main storage form of glucose in the human body.

    The glycogen in the liver can function as a backup source of glucose between meals. [2] Liver glycogen mainly serves the central nervous system. Adrenaline stimulates the breakdown of glycogen in the skeletal muscle during exercise. [12] In the muscles, glycogen ensures a rapidly accessible energy source for movement. [2]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycogen_debranching_enzyme

    Glycogen breakdown is highly regulated in the body, especially in the liver, by various hormones including insulin and glucagon, to maintain a homeostatic balance of blood-glucose levels. [8] When glycogen breakdown is compromised by mutations in the glycogen debranching enzyme, metabolic diseases such as Glycogen storage disease type III can ...

  6. Glycogen storage disease type IV - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycogen_storage_disease...

    It is the result of a mutation in the GBE1 gene, which causes a defect in the glycogen branching enzyme. Therefore, glycogen is not made properly and abnormal glycogen molecules accumulate in cells; most severely in cardiac and muscle cells. The severity of this disease varies on the amount of enzyme produced.

    Small amounts of glycogen are found in the kidneys and even smaller amounts in certain glial cells in the brain and white blood cells. The uterus also stores glycogen during pregnancy to nourish the embryo. [17] Glycogen is composed of a branched chain of glucose residues. It is primarily stored in the liver and muscles. [21]
