Where does glycogenolysis occur?

Sourav PanDecember 15, 2024

Answered

Glycogenolysis occurs primarily in the liver and muscle cells. In the liver, the glucose released from glycogen can be converted to free glucose and released into the bloodstream to maintain blood glucose levels. In muscle cells, glucose-6-phosphate, which is produced during glycogenolysis, is used directly in glycolysis to generate ATP for muscle contraction.
