Glycogen synthase is an enzyme important for making glycogen. In response to glucagon, glycogen synthase is Glycogen synthase is
an enzyme important for making glycogen. In response to glucagon, glycogen synthase is 1.inactivated by removing a phosphate group (dephosphorylation). 2.activated by phosphorylation. 3.inactivated by phosphorylation. 4.activated by removing a phosphate group (dephosphorylation).
Glycogen synthase is an enzyme, glycosyltransferase that is involved in the conversion of glucose into glycogen. There are two ways of the regulation of glycogen synthase:
allosteric regulation- via glucose-6-phosphate, which is activator of the enzyme
by phosphorilation-it deactivates the enzyme and it is triggered by glucagon from the pancreas.
The regulation of glycogen synthase is very important for glycogen metabolism and glucose storage.
