Primary Accession | P13807 |
Reactivity | Human |
Host | Mouse |
Clonality | Monoclonal |
Clone Names | 3A7 |
Isotype | IgG1 |
Calculated MW | 85kDa |
Description | Glycogen synthase, skeletal muscle, the rate limiting enzyme of the insulin-induced glycogenesis. The 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. Muscle GS is expressed in several tissues. |
Immunogen | Purified recombinant fragment of human GYS1 expressed in E. Coli. |
Formulation | Ascitic fluid containing 0.03% sodium azide. |
Gene ID | 2997 |
---|---|
Other Names | Glycogen [starch] synthase, muscle, 2.4.1.11, GYS1, GYS |
Dilution | E~~1/10000 WB~~1/500 - 1/2000 FC~~1/200 - 1/400 |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | GYS1 Antibody is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | GYS1 (HGNC:4706) |

Synonyms | GYS |
Function | Glycogen synthase participates in the glycogen biosynthetic process along with glycogenin and glycogen branching enzyme. Extends the primer composed of a few glucose units formed by glycogenin by adding new glucose units to it. In this context, glycogen synthase transfers the glycosyl residue from UDP-Glc to the non-reducing end of alpha-1,4-glucan. |
Tissue Location | Expressed in skeletal muscle and most other cell types where glycogen is present. |
