Regulation of Carbohydrate Metabolism Problem Set

Question 5: Enzyme Phosphorylation Induced by Glucagon

The same enzymes that are (de)phosphorylated by insulin action (namely glycogen synthase, glycogen phosphorylase, the PFK-2/FBPase-2 bifunctional enzyme and pyruvate kinase) are phosphorylated via glucagon and/or epinephrine action. Which kinase is responsible for these phosphorylation events?

A. Protein kinase C
B. Calmodulin-dependent protein kinase
C. Protein kinase A
D. Receptor tyrosine kinase
E. beta-ARK
