A '''debranching enzyme''' is a molecule that helps facilitate the breakdown of [[glycogen]], which serves as a store of glucose in the body, through glucosyltransferase and glucosidase activity. Together with [[phosphorylase]]s, debranching enzymes mobilize [[glucose]] reserves from glycogen deposits in the muscles and liver. This constitutes a major source of energy reserves in most organisms. Glycogen breakdown is highly regulated in the body, especially in the [[liver]], by various hormones including [[insulin]] and [[glucagon]], to maintain a homeostatic balance of blood-glucose levels.<ref name="Hers"/> When glycogen breakdown is compromised by mutations in the glycogen debranching enzyme, metabolic diseases such as [[Glycogen storage disease type III]] can result.<ref name="Song"/><ref name="Bao"/>▼

Glucosyltransferase and glucosidase are performed by a single [[enzyme]] in mammals, yeast, and some bacteria, but by two distinct enzymes in ''[[E. coli]]'' and other bacteria, complicating nomenclature. Proteins that catalyze both functions are referred to as glycogen debranching enzymes (GDEs). When glucosyltransferase and glucosidase are catalyzed by distinct enzymes, "glycogen debranching enzyme" usually refers to the glucosidase [[enzyme]]. In some literature, an enzyme capable only of glucosidase is referred to as a "debranching enzyme".<ref name=Woo/>▼

=== Two enzymes ===
In ''[[Escherichia coli|E. coli]]'' and other bacteria, glucosyltransferase and glucosidase functions are performed by two distinct
''E. coli'' GlgX is structurally similar to the protein [[isoamylase]]. The monomeric protein contains a central ___domain in which eight parallel beta-strands are surrounded by eight parallel alpha strands. Notable within this structure is a groove 26 angstroms long and 9 angstroms wide, containing aromatic residues that are thought to stabilize a four-glucose branch before cleavage.<ref name=Song/>
=== One enzyme with two catalytic sites ===
In mammals and [[yeast]], a single enzyme performs both debranching functions.<ref name="Nakayama"/> The human glycogen debranching enzyme (gene: AGL) is a monomer with a molecular weight of 175 kDa. It has been shown that the two catalytic actions of AGL can function independently of each other, demonstrating that multiple active sites are present. This idea has been reinforced with inhibitors of the active site, such as polyhydroxyamine, which were found to inhibit glucosidase activity while transferase activity was not measurably changed.<ref name=
Some studies have shown that the C-terminal half of yeast GDE is associated with glucosidase activity, while the N-terminal half is associated with glucosyltransferase activity.<ref name=Nakayama/> In addition to these two [[active site]]s, AGL appears to contain a third active site that allows it to bind to a glycogen polymer.<ref name="Gillard"/>
[[File:Hypothesized substraight binding ___location.png|thumb|center|Hypothesized sidechain binding sites|600px]]
The structure of the ''Candida glabrata'' GDE has been reported.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Zhai L, Feng L, Xia L, Yin H, Xiang S | title = Crystal structure of glycogen debranching enzyme and insights into its catalysis and disease-causing mutations | journal = Nature Communications | volume = 7 | article-number = 11229 | date = April 2016 | pmid = 27088557 | pmc = 4837477 | doi = 10.1038/ncomms11229 | bibcode = 2016NatCo...711229Z }}</ref> The structure revealed that distinct domains in GDE encode the glucanotransferase and glucosidase activities. Their catalyses are similar to that of alpha-amylase and glucoamylase, respectively. Their active sites are selective towards the respective substrates, ensuring proper activation of GDE. Besides the active sites GDE have additional binding sites for glycogen, which are important for its recruitment to glycogen. Mapping the disease-causing mutations onto the GDE structure provided insights into glycogen storage disease type III.
▲Despite these advances, the complete structure of GDE in eukaryotes has yet to be determined.<ref name="Woo"/> The glycogen-degrading enzyme of the [[archaea]] ''[[Sulfolobus solfataricus]]'' is better characterized than those of [[eukaryotes]]. The GDE of ''S. solfataricus'' is known as treX. Although, like mammalian GDE, treX has both amylosidase and glucanotransferase functions, TreX is structurally similar to glgX, and hass a mass of 80kD and one active site.<ref name=Woo/><ref name ="UniProt A8QX06"/> Unlike either glgX or AGL, however, treX exists as a dimer and tetramer in solution. TreX's oligomeric form seems to play a significant role in altering both enzyme shape and function. Dimerization is thought to stabilize a "flexible loop" located close to the active site. This may be key to explaining why treX (and not glgX) shows glucosyltransferase activity. As a tetramer, the catalytic efficiency of treX is increased fourfold over its dimeric form.<ref name=Song/><ref name="Park"/>
The official name for the gene is
▲== Genetic Location ==
The gene is 85 kb long, has 35 [[exon]]s and encodes for a 7.0 kb
▲The official name for the gene is “amylo- α- 1,6- glucosidase, 4- α- glucanotransferase,” with the official symbol AGL. AGL is an autosomal gene found on chromosome lp21.<ref name=Hondoh/> The AGL gene provides instructions for making several different versions, known as isoforms, of the glycogen debranching enzyme. These isoforms vary by size and are expressed in different tissues, such as liver and muscle. This gene has been studied in great detail, because mutation at this gene is the cause of Glycogen Storage Disease Type III.<ref name=Gene/>
▲The gene is 85 kb long, has 35 [[exon]]s and encodes for a 7.0 kb- mRNA. Translation of the gene begins at exon 3,which encodes for the first 27 amino acids of the AGL gene, because the first two exons (68kb) contain the 5’ untranslated region. Exons 4-35 encode the remaining 1505 amino acids of the AGL gene.<ref name= Bao/>
Studies produced by the department of pediatrics at Duke University suggest that the human AGL gene contains at minimum 2 promotor regions, sites where the transcription of the gene begins, that result in differential expression of isoform, different forms of the same protein, mRNAs in a manner that is specific for different tissues.<ref name = Gillard /><ref name=Ding />

{{Main|Glycogen storage disease type III}}
When GDE activity is compromised, the body cannot effectively release stored glycogen, type III Glycogen Storage Disease (debrancher deficiency), an autosomal recessive disorder, can result. In GSD III glycogen breakdown is incomplete and there is accumulation of abnormal glycogen with short outer branches.<ref name= Monga/>
Most patients exhibit GDE defiency in both liver and muscle (
These different manifestation produce varied symptoms, which can be nearly indistinguishable from Type I GSD, including [[hepatomegaly]], [[hypoglycemia]] in children, short stature, [[myopathy]], and [[cardiomyopathy]].<ref name=Bao/><ref name=Talente/> Type IIIa patients often exhibit symptoms related to liver disease and progressive muscle involvement, with variations caused by age of onset, rate of disease progression and severity. Patients with Type IIIb generally symptoms related to liver disease.<ref name =Kishnan/> Type III patients be distinguished by elevated liver enzymes, with normal [[uric acid]] and blood lactate levels, differing from other forms of GSD.<ref name=Shen/> In patients with muscle involvement, Type IIIa, the muscle weakness becomes predominant into adulthood and can lead to ventricular [[hypertrophy]] and distal muscle wasting.<ref name=Shen/>
