Myophosphorylase is the muscle isoform of the enzyme glycogen phosphorylase.
This enzyme helps break down glycogen (a form of stored carbohydrate) into glucose so that it can be utilized within the muscle cell.
A deficiency is associated with Glycogen storage disease type V, also known as "McArdle's Syndrome".
