Phospho-Glycogen synthase 1 (Ser645) Polyclonal Antibody

Glycogen Synthase (GS) is a key enzyme in the regulation of glycogen metabolism. GS catalyzes the incorporation of UDP-glucose incorporation into glycogen. The activity of glycogen synthase is regulated by hormonal stimuli (insulin, catecholamines and glucagons) and non-hormonal stimuli (blood glucose level and exercise) . Two main isoforms of mammalian GS are designated as muscle (glycogen synthase 1) and liver (glycogen synthase 2) . Most tissues express glycogen synthase 1, whereas glycogen synthase 2 appears to be tissue-specific. The two isoforms have 70% identical amino acid sequence. Glycogen synthase can be phosphorylated by multiple kinases including glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3), mitogen-activated protein kinase-related protein kinase (DYRK), and SAPK2b/p38b which leads to its inactivation.
