簡要描述：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 glycoge
