Gene information for GYS2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2998
Official gene symbolGYS2
Full nameglycogen synthase 2 (liver)
Aliases,-,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene, liver glycogen synthase, catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of glycogen - the transfer of a glucose molecule from UDP-glucose to a terminal branch of the glycogen molecule. Mutations in this gene cause glycogen storage disease type 0 (GSD-0) - a rare type of early childhood fasting hypoglycemia with decreased liver glycogen content. [provided by RefSeq]
