Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 2997
Gene name Glycogen synthase 1
Gene symbol GYS1
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
GSYGYS
Chromosome 19
Chromosome location 19q13.33
Summary The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the addition of glucose monomers to the growing glycogen molecule through the formation of alpha-1,4-glycoside linkages. Mutations in this gene are associated with muscle glycogen storage disease. Alternatively s
