E) phosphorylates glycogen phosphorylase.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Phosphorylase kinase, not glycogen phosphorylase, is a substrate for cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). PKA phosphorylates many proteins but not glycogen phosphorylase directly; it phosphorylates and activates phosphorylase kinase, which in turn phosphorylates glycogen phosphorylase.
