Gene information for GYS1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2997
Official gene symbolGYS1
Full nameglycogen synthase 1 (muscle)
Aliases,GSY,GYS,
Gene summaryThe 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. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
