  2. PYGL - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PYGL

    Glycogen phosphorylase, liver form (PYGL), also known as human liver glycogen phosphorylase (HLGP), is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PYGL gene on chromosome 14. [1] [2] This gene encodes a homodimeric protein that catalyses the cleavage of alpha-1,4-glucosidic bonds to release glucose-1-phosphate from liver glycogen stores.

  3. Glycogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycogen

    A view of the atomic structure of a single branched strand of glucose units in a glycogen molecule. 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]

  4. Hepatocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatocyte

    For these purposes, hepatocytes are usually isolated from animal or human [8] whole liver or liver tissue by collagenase digestion, which is a two-step process. In the first step, the liver is placed in an isotonic solution, in which calcium is removed to disrupt cell-cell tight junctions by the use of a calcium chelating agent.

  5. Liver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liver

    This tissue extends into the structure of the liver by accompanying the blood vessels, ducts, and nerves at the hepatic hilum. The whole surface of the liver, except for the bare area , is covered in a serous coat derived from the peritoneum , and this firmly adheres to the inner Glisson's capsule.

  6. Liver cytology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liver_cytology

    Cytology is the name given to the branch of biology that deals with the formation, structure and functionality of the cells. [1] Liver cytology specializes in the study of liver cells. The main liver cells are called hepatocytes; however, there are other cells that can be observed in a liver sample such as Kupffer cells (macrophages). [2]

  8. Glycogenin-1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycogenin-1

    The different functions of glycogen in muscle or liver make the regulation mechanisms of its metabolism differ in each tissue. [7] These mechanisms are based mainly on the differences on structure and on the regulation of the enzymes that catalyze synthesis, glycogen synthase (GS), and degradation, glycogen phosphorylase (GF).
