CATEGORY

enzyme

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic

basic FUNCTION	the rate limiting enzyme of the insulin-induced glycogenesis,transferring glucose units from UDP-Glc to a glycogen primer
	catalyzes the linear addition of glucose residues to the branching structure of glycogen, providing a convenient store of glucose for times of metabolic need (Cameron 2009)
	vital for glycogen synthesis in heart and muscle, giving a reserve of critical energy during bursts of activity, sustained muscle work and hypoxia (Cameron 2009)
