Which of the following enzymes catalyzes the hydrolysis of α-glycosidic linkages in glycogen?
A)amylase
B)phosphorylase
C)glycolase

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Phosphorylase is the enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of α-glycosidic linkages in glycogen, releasing glucose-1-phosphate. Amylase catalyzes the hydrolysis of α-glycosidic linkages in starch and glycogen, but it is not specific to glycogen. Glycolase is not a commonly known enzyme and is not involved in the hydrolysis of α-glycosidic linkages in glycogen.
