About PYGB

Cytogenetic location: 20p11.21 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 20:25,248,085-25,298,012 (from NCBI)

This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 176 orthologues and 2 paralogues. Broad expression in colon (RPKM 67.8), heart (RPKM 66.8) and 23 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a glycogen phosphorylase found predominantly in the brain. The encoded protein forms homodimers which can associate into homotetramers, the enzymatically active form of glycogen phosphorylase. The activity of this Enzyme is positively regulated by AMP and negatively regulated by ATP, ADP, and glucose-6-phosphate. This Enzyme catalyzes the rate-determining step in glycogen degradation.
