____ is an enzyme found in liver and muscle tissue used to catalyze the phosphorolysis of glycogen to ____.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glycogen phosphorylase is the enzyme responsible for breaking down glycogen through phosphorolysis to form glucose-1-phosphate. It is found in liver and muscle tissue, as mentioned in the question. Option A refers to β (1→6)-Glucosidase which catalyzes the hydrolysis of α-1,6 glycosidic bond between glucose residues in glycogen. Option B refers to α-Amylase which hydrolyzes α-1,4-glucosidic bonds found in starch and glycogen. Option C refers to β-Amylase which catalyzes the hydrolysis of the α-1,4 glycosidic bond in maltose to form glucose. Option D refers to glycogen maltase which is a hypothetical enzyme and is not found in biological systems.
