Comments

Comment Type Description
Catalytic Activity UDP-alpha-D-glucose + glycogenin = UDP + alpha-D-glucosylglycogenin.
Function Self-glucosylating initiator of glycogen synthesis. Catalyzes the formation of a short alpha (1,4)-glucosyl chain covalently attached via a glucose 1-O-tyrosyl linkage to internal tyrosine residues. These chains act as primers for the elongation reaction catalyzed by glycogen synthase. Capable of transferring glucosyl residues to unbound acceptors such as free oligoglucans or oligoglucan derivatives. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15479227, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8524228, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8900126}.
Miscellaneous Present with 981 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562106}.
Similarity Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 8 family. Glycogenin subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular Location Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562095}.
Subunit Interacts with glycogen synthase GSY2. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8524228}.
