'''Glycogenolysis''' is the breakdown of [[glycogen|glycogen (n)]] to [[glucose-1-phosphate]] and glycogen (n-1). Glycogen branches are [[catabolism|catabolized]] by the sequential removal of glucose monomers via [[phosphorolysis]], by the enzyme [[glycogen phosphorylase]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|url=https://archive.org/details/lehningerprincip00lehn_1/page/595|title=Lehninger principles of biochemistry|last=DL Nelson & MM Cox|date=2008|publisher=W.H.
