Glycogen Biosynthesis

The video explains the role of glycogen as a storage form of glucose, primarily in the liver and muscles, to prevent changes in colligative properties. It details the biosynthesis of glycogen, starting with the enzyme glyco Jenn, which creates a glucose primer. UDP glucose is used for linkage, and glycogen synthase extends the chain. The video also covers the branching of glycogen, facilitated by the glycogen branching enzyme, forming A1 to six linkages. The process helps maintain glucose stability and availability.
