| Accepted Name |
|---|
| Glycogen(starch) synthase.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
|---|
| UDP-glucose--glycogen glucosyltransferase. |
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| UDP-glucose ((1->4)-alpha-D-glucosyl)(n) <=> UDP + ((1->4)-alpha-D-glucosyl)(n+1) |
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- The description (official name) varies according to the source of the
enzyme and the nature of its synthetic product.
- Glycogen synthase from animal tissues is a complex of a catalytic
subunit and the protein glycogenin.
- The enzyme requires glucosylated glycogenin as a primer; this is the
reaction product of EC 2.4.1.186.
- A similar enzyme utilizes ADP-glucose (cf. EC 2.4.1.21).
