👉 Glycerophosphoric is a chemical compound that is formed when glycerol (a type of fatty acid) combines with phosphorus. This process occurs in the presence of an enzyme called glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, which catalyzes the conversion of glycerol to its corresponding sugar. The resulting product, glycogen, is a complex carbohydrate that serves as a primary energy source for cells and can be used by the body to store energy when needed.
