α-D-Glucose 1-phosphate is converted into D-glucose-6-phosphate by the enzyme phosphoglucomutase.
α-D-Glucose 1-phosphate is the α-anomeric form of glucose which contains a phosphate group on the primary carbon. It can be converted into the deoxysugar CDP-glucose by the enzyme α-D-Glucose-1-phosphate cytidylyltransferase.

Glycogen phosphorylase (GP) is a promising target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. In the process of structure based drug design for GP, a group of 15 aromatic aldehyde 4-(β-d-glucopyranosyl)thiosemicarbazones have been synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of rabbit

In 1945, Earl Sutherland (1915-1974) [corrected] and associates began studies of the mechanism of hormone-induced glycogen breakdown in the liver. In 1956, their efforts culminated in the identification of cyclic AMP, an ancient molecule generated in many cell types in
Almost all glucosyl transfer reactions rely on glucose-1-phosphate (Glc-1-P) that either immediately acts as glucosyl donor or as substrate for the synthesis of the more widely used Glc dinucleotides, ADPglucose or UDPglucose. In this communication, we have analyzed two Glc-1-P-related

SnRK1 of the SNF1/AMPK group of protein kinases is an important regulatory protein kinase in plants. SnRK1 was recently shown as a target of the sugar signal, trehalose 6-phosphate (T6P). Glucose 6-phosphate (G6P) can also inhibit SnRK1 and given the

Parenchyma cells from tubers of Solanum tuberosum L. convert several externally supplied sugars to starch but the rates vary largely. Conversion of glucose 1-phosphate to starch is exceptionally efficient. In this communication, tuber slices were incubated with either of four
