Glycogen phosphorylase molecule. Computer model showing the structure of a molecule of the enzyme glycogen phosphorylase with glycogen molecules (upper left and lower right). Glycogen phosphorylase catalyses the rate-limiting step in glycogenolysis (the breakdown of glycogen to glucose-1-phosphate and glycogen) in animals by releasing glucose-1-phosphate from the terminal alpha-1,4-glycosidic bond. Glycogen phosphorylase is also studied as a model protein regulated by both reversible phosphorylation and allosteric effects.
