About Gys2

Summary

Predicted to enable glucose binding activity and glycogen (starch) synthase activity. Predicted to be involved in glycogen biosynthetic process and response to glucose. Predicted to be located in cortical actin cytoskeleton; cytosol; and ectoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in liver. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in glycogen storage disease. Orthologous to human GYS2 (glycogen synthase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
