Gene information for PYGB (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5834
Official gene symbolPYGB
Full namephosphorylase, glycogen; brain
Aliases,MGC9213,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a glycogen phosphorylase found predominantly in the brain. The encoded protein forms homodimers which can associate into homotetramers, the enzymatically active form of glycogen phosphorylase. The activity of this enzyme is positively regulated by AMP and negatively regulated by ATP, ADP, and glucose-6-phosphate. This enzyme catalyzes the rate-determining step in glycogen degradation.
