DESCRIPTION

Also known as PYGB_HUMAN, PYGB. Glycogen phosphorylase that regulates glycogen mobilization (PubMed:27402852). Phosphorylase is an important allosteric enzyme in carbohydrate metabolism (PubMed:3346228). Enzymes from different sources differ in their regulatory mechanisms and in their natural substrates (PubMed:3346228). However, all known phosphorylases share catalytic and structural properties (PubMed:3346228). Homodimer. Dimers associate into a tetramer to form the enzymatically active phosphorylase A.
