| GENE SUMMARY |
|---|
| The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the addition of glucose monomers to the growing glycogen molecule through the formation of alpha-1,4-glycoside linkages. Mutations in this gene are associated with muscle glycogen storage disease. Altertively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009] |
