Question: What is the free energy source for glycogen synthesis?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer: UTP (Uridine triphosphate) is the free source for glycogen synthesis.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of UTP.

UTP is defined as a pyrimidineribonucleoside 5'-triphosphate which has uracil as the nucleobase

02

UTP in glycogen synthesis.

A single molecule of UTP is cleaved to UDP for each glucose residue incorporated into glycogen.

Glycogen+Glucose-1-Phosphate+UTP鈫�Glycogen+UDP+2Pi

The amount of UTP is fulfilled through a phosphoryl group transfer reaction mediated by nucleoside diphosphate kinase. The reaction involves the transfer of the phosphate group from adenine triphosphate (ATP) to uridinediphosphate (UDP) to produce UTP.

Summarize the effects of insulin, glucagon, and epinephrine on glycogen metabolism.

List the three enzymes involved in glycogen degradation and describe the type of reactions they catalyze.

Why does it make metabolic sense for the same hormone signal to stimulate glycogenolysis and inhibit glycolysis in the liver while stimulating both glycogenolysis and glycolysis in muscles?

Comparisons of wolf and dog DNA reveal that dogs have 4 to 30 amylase genes, whereas wolves have only 2. Why might additional amylase genes have played a role in the domestication of wolves (the ancestors of modern dogs) when humans began farming about 10,000 years ago?
