2.4.1.113 |
Accepted name: |
α-1,4-glucan-protein synthase (ADP-forming) |
Reaction: |
ADP-glucose + protein = ADP + α-D-glucosyl-protein |
Other name(s): |
ADP-glucose:protein glucosyltransferase; adenosine diphosphoglucose-protein glucosyltransferase |
Systematic name: |
ADP-glucose:protein 4-α-D-glucosyltransferase |
Comments: |
The enzyme builds up α-1,4-glucan chains covalently bound to protein, thus acting as an initiator of glycogen synthesis. |
