ENZYME entry: EC 2.4.1.11

Accepted Name
glycogen(starch) synthase
Alternative Name(s)
UDP-glucose--glycogen glucosyltransferase
Reaction catalysed
[(1->4)-alpha-D-glucosyl](n) + UDP-alpha-D-glucose = [(1->4)-alpha-D-glucosyl](n+1) + H(+) + UDP
Comment(s)
  • The description (official name) varies according to the source of the enzyme and the nature of its synthetic product.
  • Glycogen synthase from animal tissues is a complex of a catalytic subunit and the protein glycogenin.
  • The enzyme requires glucosylated glycogenin as a primer; this is the reaction product of EC 2.4.1.186.
  • A similar enzyme utilizes ADP-glucose (cf. EC 2.4.1.21).
