Recombinant Rat Glycogen [starch] synthase, liver (Gys2)
Description
1-704aa, Full length protein. MW: 80,734 Da. Purity >85% (SDS-PAGE). This protein, liver glycogen synthase, catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of glycogen - the transfer of a glucose molecule from UDP-glucose to a terminal branch of the glycogen molecule. Mutations in this gene cause glycogen storage disease type 0 (GSD-0) - a rare type of early childhood fasting hypoglycemia with decreased liver glycogen content.
