A debranching enzyme is responsible for the breakdown of glycogen <ref name="Woo"> PMID:18703518 </ref>.  There are two main groups of debranching enzymes, and they are separated according to their activity <ref name="Woo" />. The first group, consisting of [http://wikipedia.org/pullulanase pullulanase] and isoamylases which only possess one function α-1,6-glycosidase activity <ref name="Woo" />. Whereas the second group  consists of glycogen debranching enzymes which possess two functions, both α-1,6-glycosidase and α-1,4-transferase activity <ref name="Woo" />.
