Notes: α-D-Glucose-1-phosphate is an intermediate in glycogen metabolism.{52572,52573} It is a precursor in the biosynthesis of UDP-glucose, the glucose donor in glycogen biosynthesis.{52573} α-D-Glucose-1-phosphate can be formed during glycogen breakdown via phosphorolytic cleavage of glycogen by glycogen phosphorylase.{52572} It can be converted to glucose-6-phosphate by phosphoglucomutase. α-D-Glucose-1-phosphate is combined with CTP by α-D-glucose-1-phosphate cytidylyltransferase to form CDP-glucose in the first step of CDP-D-tyvelose biosynthesis in S. typhi.{52574} Bacterial sucrose phosphorylase converts sucrose and phosphate into D-fructose and α-D-glucose-1-phosphate.{52575}
