Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of GYS2 in mouse tissue homogenates, cell lysates.
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene, liver glycogen synthase, catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of glycogen - the transfer of a glucose molecule from UDP-glucose to a terminal branch of the glycogen molecule. Mutations in this gene cause glycogen storage disease type 0 (GSD-0) - a rare type of early childhood fasting hypoglycemia with decreased liver glycogen content. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]
