Heterozygous GAA knockout is nonconsequential on metabolism and the spatial liver transcriptome in high‐fat diet‐induced obese and prediabetic mice [PDF]
Glycophagy is the autophagic degradation of glycogen by the enzyme acid alpha‐glucosidase (GAA). Although GAA inhibitors improve metabolic health by inhibiting GAA in the intestine, it is not clear if GAA inhibition in peripheral tissues such as the ...

Wdfy3 regulates glycophagy, mitophagy, and synaptic plasticity. [PDF]
Autophagy is essential to cell function, as it enables the recycling of intracellular constituents during starvation and in addition functions as a quality control mechanism by eliminating spent organelles and proteins that could cause cellular damage if not properly removed.

Methods for detection of cardiac glycogen-autophagy [PDF]
Glycogen-autophagy (‘glycophagy’) is a selective autophagy process involved in delivering glycogen to the lysosome for bulk degradation. Glycophagy protein intermediaries include STBD1 as a glycogen tagging receptor, delivering the glycogen cargo into ...

Enhanced lysosomal glycogen breakdown is associated with liver tumorigenesis in glycogen storage disease type III [PDF]
Background & Aims: Glycogen storage disease type III (GSDIII) is a rare metabolic disorder caused by mutations in the glycogen debranching enzyme (AGL), leading to hepatic glycogen accumulation, fibrosis and increased hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC ...

Model-based analysis uncovers mutations altering autophagy selectivity in human cancer. [PDF]
Autophagy can selectively target protein aggregates, pathogens, and dysfunctional organelles for the lysosomal degradation. Aberrant regulation of autophagy promotes tumorigenesis, while it is far less clear whether and how tumor-specific alterations ...

The ER - Glycogen Particle - Phagophore Triangle: A Hub Connecting Glycogenolysis and Glycophagy? [PDF]
Glycogen particle is an intracellular organelle, which serves as a carbohydrate reserve in various cells. The function of glycogen is not entirely known in several cell types.

Biomedical Implications of Autophagy in Macromolecule Storage Disorders [PDF]
An imbalance between the production and clearance of macromolecules such as proteins, lipids and carbohydrates can lead to a category of diseases broadly known as macromolecule storage disorders.

Glycophagy — the physiological perspective on a newly characterized glycogen-selective autophagy
Degradation of intracellular components through autophagy is a fundamental process to maintain cellular integrity and homeostasis. Recently a glycogen-selective autophagy pathway has been described, termed ‘glycophagy’. Glycogen is a primary storage depot and regulator of glucose availability, and glycophagy is emerging as a ...

Glycogen is a neutral cargo of bulk autophagy in Komagataella phaffii [PDF]
Glycogen is a primary cellular energy store in numerous eukaryotes. Its biosynthesis is a main strategy to cope with forthcoming starvation. During starvation, glycogen is processed in the cytosol or delivered for degradation to animal lysosomes or yeast

Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is linked to disturbance in cardiac glucose handling and increased cardiac glycogen storage. This study tested the potential role of sacubitril/valsartan on the progression of DCM in high fat diet (HFD)/streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 2 diabetic rats compared to valsartan alone, including their effects on the cardiac ...
