| ncRNA Symbol: | AGL | | Full Name: | amylo-alpha-1, 6-glucosidase, 4-alpha-glucanotransferase | | Category: | mRNA | | Synonyms: | GDE | | Chromosome: | chr1 | | Strand: | + | | Coordinate: | | Start Site(bp): | 99850084 | End Site(bp): | 99924023 | | | Gene Summary: | This gene encodes the glycogen debrancher enzyme which is involved in glycogen degradation. This enzyme has two independent catalytic activities which occur at different sites on the protein: a 4-alpha-glucotransferase activity and a amylo-1,6-glucosidase activity. Mutations in this gene are associated with glycogen storage disease although a wide range of enzymatic and clinical variability occurs which may be due to tissue-specific alternative splicing. Alternatively spliced transcripts encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] | | External Links: | |
