An incorrect, tight binding of PP1 to glycogen synthase would result in:
A) a hyperactive glycogen synthase.
B) hyper-glycogen levels.
C) increased insulin action.
D) high blood glucose.
E) activated glycogen synthase.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An incorrect, tight binding of PP1 to glycogen synthase would lead to hyper-glycogen levels. This is because PP1 is responsible for dephosphorylating glycogen synthase, thereby activating it and promoting glycogen synthesis. Thus, if PP1 binds tightly and cannot be released, glycogen synthase would be continuously active, resulting in excessive glycogen synthesis and hyper-glycogen levels.
