Introduction to Biochemistry - Quiz 3.8.4


Remember when we have Glucagon:
Glycogen synthase is phosphorylated and inhibited.
Phosphorylase kinase is phosphorylated and activated.
Glycogen phosphorylase is phosphorylated and activated.

We have the exact reverse here:

Phosphate group from glycogen synthase, phosphorylase kinase and glycogen phosphorylase are removed. Glycogen synthase is activated, phosphorylase kinase and glycogen phosphorylase is inhibited.


Glucagon signalling in a liver cell leads to inactivation of PP1, which triggers glycogen synthesis.


Insulin is signalling and PP1 is bound to its G sub-unit.
