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

    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
