What issues would happen if there were no debranching enzymes for glycogen?
Homework Answers
The work of the debranching enzyme is to help in the breakdown of glycogen, which stores glucose in the body. Glycogen stores carbohydrate energy in the body.If there is no debranching enzyme it will lead to glycogen storage in liver and muscles. This can result in low blood sugar which is responsible for the loss on consciousness and overall weakness , can result in enlargement of the liver due to the deposition which may hinder its function and also muscle will have no strength.
In order to treat this the person is given high-protein diet to start gluconeogenesis and in rarest condition, a liver transplant is needed

A patient was seen by a gastrointestinal specialist and diagnosed with a glycogen storage disease. A liver biopsy showed that the patient was producing very little glycogen, the molecules were relatively small, and they only had a(1,4) glycosidic linkages. Blood and liver glucose concentrations were within normal ranges. What enzyme is likely affected in this disease? a. glycogen synthase b. glycogen phosphorylate c. branching enzyme d. debranching enzyme e. hexokinase

Biochemistry help 1) Write the names of the degradative and the biosynthetic enzymes of glycogen metabolism that are targeted to regulate glycogen metabolism. 2) ) Discuss, by drawing structures, how hormones regulate the enzymes you name in Question 1. 3) Discuss, with structures, the reactions of the non-oxidative phase of the pentose phosphate pathway and show how the non-oxidative phase is used to synthesize all the pentoses in nature.
