About PYGL

Cytogenetic location: 14q22.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 14:50,905,217-50,944,483 (from NCBI)

This gene has 7 transcripts (splice variants), 208 orthologues, 2 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Broad expression in fat (RPKM 75.5), bone marrow (RPKM 44.9) and 16 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a homodimeric protein that catalyses the cleavage of alpha-1,4-glucosidic bonds to release glucose-1-phosphate from liver glycogen stores. This protein switches from inactive Phosphorylase B to active Phosphorylase A by phosphorylation of serine residue 15. Activity of this enzyme is further regulated by multiple allosteric effectors and hormonal controls. Humans have three glycogen Phosphorylase genes that encode distinct isozymes that are primarily expressed in liver, brain and muscle, respectively. The liver isozyme serves the glycemic demands of the body in general while the brain and muscle isozymes supply just those tissues. In glycogen storage disease type VI, also known as Hers disease, mutations in liver glycogen Phosphorylase inhibit the conversion of glycogen to glucose and results in moderate hypoglycemia, mild ketosis, growth retardation and hepatomegaly. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]
