General description
Glycogen phosphorylase (PYG) exists as brain and muscle isoform. It is expressed in astrocytes and neurons respectively. The PYGM gene is mapped to human chromosome 11q13.1.
Application
Biochem/physiol Actions
Glycogen phosphorylase, muscle associated (PYGM), is an important contributor to glycogenolysis. Down regulation of PYGM gene is observed in schizophrenia. Mutation in PYGM leads to McArdle disease, a glycogen storage disorder. The PYGM gene is significantly associated with energy production.
Preparation Note
The material may produce a yellowish solution if prepared at a higher concentration than 2g + 15ml.
