Glycogen Metabolism: Activity (Notes) Write the structural formula of the following:
1. Glycogen C 24 H 42 O 21 2. Uridine Diphosphate (UDP) C 9 H 14 N 2 O 12 P 2 3. Uridine Triphosphate (UTP) C 9 H 15 N 2 O 15 P 3 4. Glucagon C 153 H 225 N 43 O 49 S 5. Alpha 1,4 glycisidic bonds C 12 H 22 O 11 6. Hexokinase- Glucose+ATP -> GGP+ADP H 6380 7. Glycogenin C 24 H 42 O 21 8. Glucose 1 phosphate C 6 H 13 O 9 P 9. Uridine diphosphate glucose C 15 H 24 N 2 O 17 P 2 10. Alpha 1,6 glycosidic bonds (C 6 H 10 O 5 )n I. DEFINE: 1. Glycosidic bonds Covalent chemical bonds that hold together a glycoside. Glycoside is composed of sugar molecules. 2. Uridine diphosphate (UDP) A nucleotide diphosphate that facilitates metabolism and secretion of toxic xenobiotics, carcinogens, estrogens, bilirubin, and therapeutic drugs. 3. Glycogenin An enzyme involved in the conversion of glucose to glycogen. Acts as a primer for glycogen synthesis and self-glycosilating enzyme that uses UDP 4. Phosphoglucomutase An enzyme that catalyzes the interconversion of glucose 1-phosphate and glucose 6 phosphate via glucose 1-6 phosphate intermediate Key enzyme in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis 5. Pyrophosphorylase
An enzyme involved in carbohydrate metabolism.
6. Glycogenin An enzyme involved in converting glucose to glycogen (Acts as a primer) 7. Glycogen synthase An enzyme present in liver and muscle cells that catalyzes the production of glycogen in the skeletal muscle. 8. Epinephrine, then give the function A hormone and a neurotransmitter used to treat allergic reactions, cardiac rhythm, and control mucosal congestion It is a common medication used for emergency treatment to allergic reactions 9. Glycogen phosphorylase Key enzyme responsible for the first step in of glycogenolysis Catalyzes the sequential phosphorolysis of glycogen to release glucose- phosphate 10.Adenyl cyclase An enzyme used to synthesize cylic AMP which regulates diverse physiological responses including sugar and lipid metabolism, olfaction, cell growth and differentiation. 11.Glucose pyrophosphorylase An enzyme involved in carbohydrate metabolism. 12.Tyrosine kinase receptor Protein involved in cell-to-cell communication, cell growth, motility, differentiation, and metabolism 13.G-protein couple receptor transmit extracellular signals across the plasma membrane via intracellular activation of heterotrimeric G proteins II. 1. Where do epinephrine secreted and give the function. Secreted in the Medulla of our adrenal glands in response to stress. Primarily to increase cardiac output and raise the glucose levels in the blood. It relaxes the airways and tightens the blood vessels. 2. Glucose-6- phospahase An enzyme found in the liver and the kidneys that functions as a provider of glucose during starvation An enzyme associated with endoplasmic reticulum. 3. Where do insuline bind?
activates signaling cascades to regulate metabolism and cell growth.
4. Where do glucagon bind? Glucagon binds with its receptor which is mainly found in the liver and kidney.
