| Gene Symbol | GYS2 |
| Gene Full Name | glycogen synthase 2 (liver) |
| Background | The protein encoded by this gene, liver glycogen synthase, catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of glycogen - the transfer of a glucose molecule from UDP-glucose to a terminal branch of the glycogen molecule. Mutations in this gene cause glycogen storage disease type 0 (GSD-0) - a rare type of early childhood fasting hypoglycemia with decreased liver glycogen content. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009] |
| Function | Transfers the glycosyl residue from UDP-Glc to the non-reducing end of alpha-1,4-glucan. [UniProt] |
| Calculated MW | 81 kDa |
| PTM | Primed phosphorylation at Ser-657 (site 5) by CSNK2A1 and CSNK2A2 is required for inhibitory phosphorylation at Ser-641 (site 3a), Ser-645 (site 3b), Ser-649 (site 3c) and Ser-653 (site 4) by GSK3A an GSK3B. Dephosphorylation at Ser-641 and Ser-645 by PP1 activates the enzyme (By similarity). Phosphorylation at Ser-8 is not required for interaction with GYG1 (By similarity). Interaction with GYG1 does not regulate the phosphorylation at Ser-8 and Ser-641 (By similarity). [UniProt] |
