SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic
	intracellular,nucleus

basic FUNCTION	amylo (1,4->1,6) trans-glucosidase, branching enzyme, functioning in glycogen symthesis by catalyzing the formation of alpha 1,6- glucosidic linkages
	playing an important role in increasing the solubility of the molecule and, consequently, in reducing the osmotic pressure within cells
	plays an essential role in glycogen biosynthesis by generating &
	945;-1,6-glucosidic branches from &
	945;-1,4-linked glucose chains, to increase solubility of the glycogen polymer

CELLULAR PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

a component

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein

NFE2L2 induction in skeletal muscle (SkM) increases GBE1 and PHKA1 expression and reduces muscle glycogen content, resulting in improved glucose tolerance

cell & other

REGULATION

activated by	thyroid hormones
	hypoxia that upregulates the expression of UTP:glucose-1-phosphate urydylyltransferase (UGP2) and 1,4-alpha glucan branching enzyme (GBE1), two enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of glycogen
