Glycogenolysis is the process of converting the food storage carbohydrate polymer glycogen into glucose for the body to use as energy. Glycogen is a polysaccharide â a long sugar chain â of glucose molecules with side branches. It is a way for animal cells to store excess carbohydrates until needed.
Glycogen is cleaved from the nonreducing ends of the chain by the enzyme glycogen phosphorylase to produce monomers of glucose-1-phosphate, which is then converted to glucose 6-phosphate by phosphoglucomutase.hen it is needed for energy, glycogen is broken down and converted again to glucose. Glycogen phosphorylase is the primary enzyme of glycogen breakdown. For the next 8â12 hours, glucose derived from liver glycogen is the primary source of blood glucose used by the rest of the body for fuel.
