Packet 11: Tossup 9

An enzyme that breaks down this molecule is converted from its inactive “b” form to its active “a” form by (-5[1])phosphorylation on serine-14. (-5[1])A tyrosine-194 residue on a protein named for generating this (15[1])molecule primes the attachment of UDP-conjugated (15[1]-5[1])monomers. (15[2])Diseases regarding the harboring of this (15[1])molecule are grouped into six classes, the first of which is Von Gierke’s disease. (*) Branching enzymes acting on this (10[1])molecule create alpha-1,6 linkages. (-5[1])Glucagon (10[1]-5[2])promotes the breakdown of this (10[1])macromolecule. (10[1])Liver and muscle cells commonly store, for 10 points, what polysaccharide, the main (-5[1])storage form of glucose in the human body? ■END■ (10[4]0[4])
