NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the glycogenin family. Glycogenin is a glycosyltransferase that catalyzes the formation of a short glucose polymer from uridine diphosphate glucose in an autoglucosylation reaction. This reaction is followed by elongation and branching of the polymer, catalyzed by glycogen synthase and branching enzyme, to form glycogen. This gene is expressed in muscle and other tissues. Mutations in this gene result in glycogen storage disease XV. This gene has pseudogenes on chromosomes 1, 8 and 13 respectively. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2010]
Uniprot Description
glycogenin: Self-glucosylates, via an inter-subunit mechanism, to form an oligosaccharide primer that serves as substrate for glycogen synthase. Defects in GYG1 are the cause of glycogen storage disease type 15 (GSD15). It is a metabolic disorder resulting in muscle weakness, associated with the glycogen depletion in skeletal muscle, and cardiac arrhythmia, associated with the accumulation of abnormal storage material in the heart. The skeletal muscle shows a marked predominance of slow-twitch, oxidative muscle fibers and mitochondrial proliferation. Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 8 family. Glycogenin subfamily. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The Human GYG1 gyg1 (Catalog #AAA9300634) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9300634 ELISA Kit recognizes Human GYG1. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Glycogenin 1 (GYG1), ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
