HUMAN LIVER GLYCOGEN PHOSPHORYLASE A COMPLEXED WITH AMP
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 10949035
Disease
[PYGL_HUMAN] Defects in PYGL are the cause of glycogen storage disease type 6 (GSD6) [MIM:232700]. A metabolic disorder characterized by mild to moderate hypoglycemia, mild ketosis, growth retardation, and prominent hepatomegaly. Heart and skeletal muscle are not affected.[1]
Function
[PYGL_HUMAN] Phosphorylase is an important allosteric enzyme in carbohydrate metabolism. Enzymes from different sources differ in their regulatory mechanisms and in their natural substrates. However, all known phosphorylases share catalytic and structural properties.
About this Structure
1fa9 is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Homo sapiens. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
