glycogen catabolic process
Sign in to saveclass=skin-invert-image|thumb|Glycogen|346x346px class=skin-invert-image|thumb|Glucose class=skin-invert-image|thumb|Glucose-6-phosphate Glycogenolysis is the breakdown of glycogen (n) to glucose-1-phosphate and glycogen (n-1). Glycogen branches are catabolized by the sequential removal of glucose monomers via phosphorolysis, by the enzyme glycogen phosphorylase.
