This protein is mainly expressed in skeletal muscle and heart tissue. PHKA1 plays an important role in glycogen metabolism by regulating the conversion of phosphorylase b to phosphorylase a which ultimately leads to glycogen breakdown.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nGlycogen metabolism involves PHKA1 as part of the phosphorylase kinase complex. This complex exists in the muscle and liver and includes alpha beta gamma and delta subunits. PHKA1 binds together with these subunits to form a large complex helping to regulate the activity state of the enzyme. The regulation of glycogen phosphorylase is important for maintaining energy supply in cells particularly during physical activity.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nThe activity of PHKA1 impacts glycogenolysis which is a significant metabolic pathway responsible for breaking down glycogen into glucose-1-phosphate. This pathway involves other proteins like glycogen phosphorylase and phosphoprotein phosphatase 1. PHKA1 has interactions within the cascade that ensures proper glycogen breakdown especially during conditions requiring increased energy output.\u003cbr\u003e\nMutations in PHKA1 are linked to glycogen storage disease type IXd (GSD IXd) which primarily affects muscle tissue. This condition features exercise intolerance and muscle weakness due to impaired glycogen breakdown. PHKB another homologous phosphorylase kinase subunit can connect to similar energy metabolism disruptions showing a clear association with the disorder pathway alongside PHKA1.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46850203779241,"sku":"ab176338","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab176338","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
