Glycogen phosphorylase, brain form
Function
Glycogen phosphorylase that regulates glycogen mobilization (PubMed:27402852). Phosphorylase is an important allosteric enzyme in carbohydrate metabolism (PubMed:3346228). Enzymes from different sources differ in their regulatory mechanisms and in their natural substrates (PubMed:3346228). However, all known phosphorylases share catalytic and structural properties (PubMed:3346228).
Post-translational modifications
Phosphorylated (PubMed:27402852). Phosphorylation of Ser-15 converts phosphorylase B (unphosphorylated) to phosphorylase A (By similarity).
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the glycogen phosphorylase family.
