Background: Glycogen synthase catalyzes the rate-limiting step in glycogen synthesis. Its activity is regulated by a complex phosphorylation-dephosphorylation mechanism and by allosteric stimulators and inhibitors. Two isozymes of synthase, a skeletal muscle type (Glycogen synthase 1 - GYS1) and a liver type (Glycogen synthase 2 - GYS2), have been identified. GYS2 transfers the glycosyl residue from UDP-Glc to the non-reducing end of alpha-1,4-glucan. Defects in GYS2 are the cause of glycogen storage disease type 0 (GSD0).
