Glucose-1-Phosphate

Glucose-1-phosphate is an intermediate in glycogen catabolism, glycogen biosynthesis, and galactose metabolism, (Figure 13.13). Glucose-1-phosphate is produced as a result of phosphorolysis of glycogen and as a result of conversion from glucose-6-phosphate by phosphoglucomutase. Glucose-1-phosphate is also an intermediate in galactose metabolism.
