Glycogen synthetase activity in blood platelets

ABSTRACT LELOIR _et al._1–3 found the key enzyme in glycogen synthesis to be UDP glucose : α1-4 glucan-4-glucosyl transferase (E.C. 2.4.1.11), also called glycogen synthetase. The enzyme has

been extensively studied in liver1–3 and muscle4,5, and has been identified in blood leucocytes6. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content,
