The breakdown of glycogen in the skeletal muscle cells is catalyzed by Glycogen Phosporylase is an example of what type of regulation?
Definition
Covalent Modification
Term
How does Glycogen Phosphorylase work?
Definition
It removes successive glucose units from glycogen as glucose-1-phosphate
Term
Does the active or inactive form of glycogen phosphorylase break the glycosidic between the C terminal glucose of glycogen?
Definition
Active
Term
When glycogen breakdown is needed in the muscle cells what happens to the inactive form of glycogen phosphorylase (b)?
Definition
It is converted into the active (a) form
Term
How is glycogen phophorlyase kinased?
Definition
The change from inactive (b) from to active (a) from is done when the inactive (b) form becomes phosphorylated by the addition of a phosphate group to a particular serine on each the two subunits of the phosphoylase (b) molecule.
Term
What happens why phosphorylase (a)is no longer needed for the break down of glycogen?
Definition
It is converted back into phosphorylase (b) by the removal of a phosphate group
Term
What is inhibited by glucose and ATP but is activated by AMP?
Definition
Glycogen Phosphorylase
Term
When a cell receives a hormonal signal it may trigger production of which allosteric effector?
Definition
cAMP (Cyclic AMP)
Term
What kind of molecule is cAMP?
Definition
Messenger molecule that functions as a allosteric activator
Term
What does PKA stand for?
Definition
Protein Kinase Active
Term
What is one of the primary functions of smooth ER?
Definition
Carbohydrate metabolism
Term
Which enzyme adds glucose units onto glycogen?
Definition
Glycogen Synthase
Term
What does GRK stand for?
Definition
G protein Receptor Kinase
Term
What does GPCR stand for?
Definition
G protein Coupled Receptor
Term
When cells can no longer take in glucose, their receptors are turned off (arrestin), this increases glucose levels in the bloods. This causes which type of Diabetes?
Definition
Type II
Term
When Insulin binds to the cell surface, then binds to glucose, and taken into the cell. Must be treated with insulin because they do not produce enough. This is caused by which type of Diabetes?
Definition
Type I
Term
Which enzyme regulation involves the one time, irreversible removal of a portion of the polypeptide chain by an appropriate proteolytic (protein degrading) enzyme
