Which of the Following is Required for the Conversion of UDP-Glucose

Question

Which of the following is required for the conversion of UDP-glucose to glycogen?
A) Glycogen synthase
B) Branching enzyme
C) Glucose phosphorylase
D) Debranching enzyme
E) Both A and B are correct.

Accepted Answer

Glycogen synthase is responsible for adding glucose units from UDP-glucose to a growing glycogen chain, while branching enzyme creates α-1,6-glycosidic bonds, introducing branches into the glycogen molecule, both of which are essential steps in glycogen synthesis.
