McArdle's disease: a study on the molecular basis of two different etiologies of myophosphorylase deficiency. 1979

J F Koster, and R G Slee, and F G Jennekens, and A R Wintzen, and T J van Berkel

Three patients with myophosphorylase deficiency were investigated. Two had no detectable activity, while one had 1% residual activity. The patient with 1% residual activity had 40% of the normal amount of myophosphorylase protein. No myophosphorylase protein could be detected in the other two cases. A precipitin band in the Ouchterlony double immunodiffusion test was not present in any case. This study showed that modifying the normal enzyme (without changing the molecular weight) changed the immunoprecipitin activity of the phosphorylase protein. Therefore, immunoprecipitation is not a valid technique for differentiation of the variants of myophosphorylase deficiency, and another method, for example SDS-electrophoresis, should be applied.

Gel Diffusion Tests,Diffusion Test, Gel,Diffusion Tests, Gel,Gel Diffusion Test,Immunodiffusions,Test, Gel Diffusion,Tests, Gel Diffusion
D006005 Phosphorylases A class of glucosyltransferases that catalyzes the degradation of storage polysaccharides, such as glucose polymers, by phosphorolysis in animals (GLYCOGEN PHOSPHORYLASE) and in plants (STARCH PHOSPHORYLASE). Glucan Phosphorylase,Phosphorylase,alpha-Glucan Phosphorylases
D006008 Glycogen Storage Disease A group of inherited metabolic disorders involving the enzymes responsible for the synthesis and degradation of glycogen. In some patients, prominent liver involvement is presented. In others, more generalized storage of glycogen occurs, sometimes with prominent cardiac involvement.

D006019 Glycolysis A metabolic process that converts GLUCOSE into two molecules of PYRUVIC ACID through a series of enzymatic reactions. Energy generated by this process is conserved in two molecules of ATP. Glycolysis is the universal catabolic pathway for glucose, free glucose, or glucose derived from complex CARBOHYDRATES, such as GLYCOGEN and STARCH.
