The enzyme that catalyzes the mobilization of glucose residues from storage in the polymeric form of glycogen. The phosphorolysis of a terminal α-1,4 linkage (phosphate is used to split the linkage) results in the production of glucose 1-phosphate and a glycogen chain that is one glucose unit shorter.
