FAMILY
  • glucosyltransferase family
  • 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)
