MeSH Heading: Glycogenolysis
Tree Number(s): G02.111.158.625; G03.191.625
Unique ID: D050261
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D050261
Scope Note: The release of GLUCOSE from GLYCOGEN by GLYCOGEN PHOSPHORYLASE (phosphorolysis). The released glucose-1-phosphate is then converted to GLUCOSE-6-PHOSPHATE by PHOSPHOGLUCOMUTASE before entering GLYCOLYSIS. Glycogenolysis is stimulated by GLUCAGON or EPINEPHRINE via the activation of PHOSPHORYLASE KINASE.
