glucose-1-phosphate (Cori ester)

Biochemistry: - formed during glycogenolysis by the action of glycogen phosphorylase - enzyme: glycogen phosphorylase - substrates: glycogen + phosphate - product: glucose-1-phosphate - converted to glucose-6-phosphate by phosphoglucomutase in 1st step of glycolysis - enzyme: phosphoglucomutase - substrate: glucose-1-phosphate - product: glucose-6-phosphate - metabolized by UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase to form UDP-glucose - enzyme: UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase - substrate: glucose-1-phosphate - product: UDP-glucose - the UDP-glucose can then return glucose to glycogen via glycogen synthase - enzyme: glycogen synthase - substrates: UDP-glucose + glycogen - products: glycogen(+1) + UDP
