Summary Summary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.
The protein encoded by this gene, 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 glyc

UniProt ID P54840
Protein name Glycogen [starch] synthase, liver (EC 2.4.1.11) (Glycogen synthase 2)
Protein function Glycogen synthase participates in the glycogen biosynthetic process along with glycogenin and glycogen branching enzyme. Extends the primer composed of a few glucose units formed by glycogenin by adding new glucose units to it. In this context,
