Regulation of GP<br />

• <strong>Glycogen</strong> Synthase is allosterically activated by<br />

glucose-6-P (opposite of effect on GP).<br />

• Thus <strong>Glycogen</strong> Synthase is active when high<br />

blood glucose leads to elevated intracellular<br />

glucose-6-P.<br />

• It is useful to a cell to store glucose as glycogen<br />

when the input to Glycolysis (glucose-6-P), and<br />

the main product of Glycolysis (ATP), are<br />

adequate.
