<prompt> Pyridoxal phosphate is required forGluconeogenesisGlycogenolysisGlycolysisFatty acid oxidation  <response>: Glycogen phosphorylase removes glucose as glucose-1-phosphate from glycogen phosphorolysis. It contains pyridoxal. Formation of branches in glycogen phosphate PLP as a prosthetic group. The alpha-1,4 linkages in the glycogen are cleaved. removes glucose units one at a time. Enzyme sequentially hydrolyses alpha-1,4 glycosidic linkages, till it reaches a glucose residue, 3-4 glucose units away from a branch point. It cannot attack the 1,6 linkage at branch point.Ref: DM Vasudevan, 7th edition, page no: 124
