Glycogenesis is the process of synthesizing glycogen from glucose, primarily occurring in the liver and skeletal muscles. It serves as a storage mechanism for glucose, ensuring a readily available energy source when needed. The process involves several enzymatic steps:
- Glucose Uptake and Activation: Glucose enters the cell via GLUT transporters and is phosphorylated by hexokinase (in muscles) or glucokinase (in the liver) to form glucose-6-phosphate (G6P).
- Isomerization: Glucose-6-phosphate is converted into glucose-1-phosphate (G1P) by phosphoglucomutase.
- UDP-Glucose Formation: Glucose-1-phosphate reacts
