Incorporation of phosphate into glycogen by glycogen synthase [PDF]
Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2016 The storage polymer glycogen normally contains small amounts of covalently attached phosphate as phosphomonoesters at C2, C3 and C6 atoms of glucose residues.

Glycogen metabolic genes are involved in trehalose-6-phosphate synthase-mediated regulation of pathogenicity by the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2013 The filamentous fungus Magnaporthe oryzae is the causal agent of rice blast disease. Here we show that glycogen metabolic genes play an important role in plant infection by M. oryzae.

Role of autophagy in glycogen breakdown and its relevance to chloroquine myopathy. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2013 Several myopathies are associated with defects in autophagic and lysosomal degradation of glycogen, but it remains unclear how glycogen is targeted to the lysosome and what significance this process has for muscle cells.

Glycogen Synthase Kinase‐3 [PDF]
International Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, 2011 Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK3) is a ubiquitous and promiscuous kinase that has been studied extensively for over four decades. Initial reports beginning in the 1970s described its role in cellular metabolic pathways fundamental to glucose metabolism, but in more recent years the number of reports describing aberrant GSK3 activity in pathological ...

Gsk-3$ \beta $ aggravates depression symptoms in a chronic stress mouse model [PDF]
Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2018 Depression caused by genetic and environmental factors is acomplicated disease. Here, it is demonstrated that glycogen synthase kinase-3$\beta$ is highly expressed and phosphorylated in the brain of a chronic stress mouse. Inhibition of glycogen synthase
