Process of Glycogenesis (With Diagram) | Biochemistry

In this article we will discuss about the process of glycogenesis. The process of formation of glycogen from glucose in the tissues is called glyco­genesis. Different tissues of the living orga­nisms store carbohydrate as glycogen. The steps of glycogenesis are as follows (Fig. 8.83). 1. Glucose is phosphorylated to glycose-6- phosphate by the enzyme hexokinase (glucokinase) in presence of a [...]
