Glycogen phosphorylase catalyzes the following reaction Inorganic phosphate + glycogen (n) --glucose -phosphate + glycogen (n-) To which enzyme class does it belong?

Question

Glycogen phosphorylase catalyzes the following reaction Inorganic phosphate + glycogen (n) -->glucose -phosphate + glycogen (n-) To which enzyme class does it belong?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glycogen phosphorylase transfers a phosphate group from an inorganic phosphate molecule to glycogen, resulting in the release of glucose-1-phosphate. This reaction is characteristic of enzymes in the transferase class, which catalyze the transfer of a functional group from one molecule to another.
