glycogen synthase

An enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of glucose from UDP-glucose to glycogen.

glycogen

a polysaccharide, the chief carbohydrate storage material in animals. It is formed and stored in the liver and muscles (phosphorylytically cleaved to glucose-1-phosphate). Called also animal starch.

glycogen granules

electron-dense accumulation of glycogen molecules.

glycogen nephrosis

deposition of glycogen in the renal tubules in diabetes mellitus but without apparent effect on renal function.

glycogen phosphorylase

glycogen phosphorylase the major enzyme in glycogenolysis, leading to the release of glucose-1-phosphate from glycogen. This enzyme is activated by phosphorylation from ATP by glycogen phosphorylase kinase, activated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase or by Ca²+ via calmodulin, or inhibited by hydrolysis of the phosphate by glycogen phosphorylase phosphatase.

glycogen synthase

an enzyme in the glycogenesis process.
