Regulatory Functions of Nilaparvata lugens GSK-3 in Energy and Chitin Metabolism
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Glucose metabolism is a biologically important metabolic process. Glycogen synthase kinase (GSK-3) is a key enzyme located in the middle of the sugar metabolism pathway that can regulate the energy metabolism process in the body through insulin signaling.

Isozymes of glycogen synthase [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1984 Antisera to rat skeletal muscle glycogen synthase failed to recognize liver glycogen synthase by electroblot analysis. The antisera recognized the enzyme in skeletal muscle, heart, fat, kidney, and brain. The results support the hypothesis that there are at least two isozymes of glycogen synthase, and that most tissues contain a form similar or ...

The role of glycogen phosphorylase in glycogen biogenesis in skeletal muscle after exercise
Sports Medicine and Health Science, 2023 Initially it was believed that phosphorylase was responsible for both glycogen breakdown and synthesis in the living cell. The discovery of glycogen synthase and McArdle's disease (lack of phosphorylase activity), together with the high Pi/glucose 1-P ...

Glycogenin is Dispensable for Glycogen Synthesis in Human Muscle, and Glycogenin Deficiency Causes Polyglucosan Storage [PDF]
, 2020 Glycogenin is considered to be an essential primer for glycogen biosynthesis. Nevertheless, patients with glycogenin-1 deficiency due to biallelic GYG1 (NM_004130.3) mutations can store glycogen in muscle.

Variations in Glycogen Synthesis in Human Pluripotent Stem Cells with Altered Pluripotent States. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) represent very promising resources for cell-based regenerative medicine. It is essential to determine the biological implications of some fundamental physiological processes (such as glycogen metabolism) in these stem

Lafora disease offers a unique window into neuronal glycogen metabolism [PDF]
, 2018 Lafora disease (LD) is a fatal, autosomal recessive, glycogen-storage disorder that manifests as severe epilepsy. LD results from mutations in the gene encoding either the glycogen phosphatase laforin or the E3 ubiquitin ligase malin. Individuals with LD

Glycogen and its metabolism: some new developments and old themes [PDF]
, 2012 Glycogen is a branched polymer of glucose that acts as a store of energy in times of nutritional sufficiency for utilization in times of need. Its metabolism has been the subject of extensive investigation and much is known about its regulation by ...
