Glycogenin-1 is also expressed in other tissues, but only to a minor degree in the liver. 8 Glycogenin-2, encoded by GYG2, is the liver isoform, with a molecular weight of 66 kD.

Peptides corresponding to glycogenin helices were synthesized. GYG epitope bound to TRIM7 was identified (GYG322-333 epitope), following which the team searched for an identical sequence in other ...

Researchers have discovered a new disorder linked to heart problems that stems from a genetic defect in the protein glycogenin. In a worst case scenario, disruption of this protein's function can ...
