Glycogen, a hyperbranched polymer of glucose, plays a central role as an energy reserve across diverse organisms. In Escherichia coli, its biosynthesis is linked not only to energy storage but also to ...

Glycogen is a glucose polymer that contains minor amounts of covalently attached phosphate. Hyperphosphorylation is deleterious to glycogen structure and can lead to Lafora disease. Recently, it was ...

Researchers from Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated have solved the three-dimensional atomic structure of glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK3), an enzyme involved in the regulation of blood glucose ...

Glycogen is a form of glucose that helps regulate your blood sugar levels. Your eating and exercise habits play a role in determining your glycogen levels. Glycogen is the stored form of a simple ...

Estimates suggest that glycogen storage diseases (GSD) affect from around one person in 40,000 to less than one person in 1,000,000, making them “ultra-rare” diseases. This results in diluted research ...
