While initial studies of glycogen phosphorylase PGYM from rabbit muscle suggested that it is a homotetramer (Keller and Cori 1953), more recent work indicates that under physiological conditions the enzyme occurs as a homodimer (Huang and Graves 1970) and a dimeric structure for human PYGL enzyme is inferred here.
