<prompt> Which of the following is the rate limiting enzyme in glycogenesis?GlucokinaseGlycogen phosphorylaseGlycogen synthaseBranching enzyme  <response>: Glycogen synthase catalyzes the formation of a glycoside bond between C-1 of the glucose of UDPGlc and C-4 of a terminal glucose residue of glycogen, liberating uridine diphosphate UDP.The principal enzymes controlling glycogen metabolism glycogen phosphorylase and glycogen synthaseare regulated in opposite directions by allosteric mechanisms and covalent modification by reversible phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of enzyme protein in response to hormone action.Rate Limiting StepsGlycogenesis: Glycogen synthase.Glycogenolysis: Glycogen phosphorylase.Harper 30th edition Pg-179,175
