Glycogen debranching enzyme
Debranching enzymes help cut the 1,6-glycosidic linkages between glucose subunits of glycogen. These enzymes are important in glycogenolysis because the main cutting enzyme, glycogen phosphorylase, cannot cut a non-linear glycogen chain.
The two debranching enzymes are:
Deficiency in either of these enzymes will result in glycogen storage diseases.
