Where does glycogenolysis occur in the cell?
Within the cell, glycogenolysis takes place in the cytoplasm, where glycogen is stored. The breakdown of glycogen to glucose-1-phosphate and glucose-6-phosphate occurs in the cytoplasm. Specifically, the key enzymes involved in glycogenolysis, such as glycogen phosphorylase and phosphoglucomutase, are located in the cytoplasm, where they facilitate the conversion of glycogen into usable glucose derivatives.
