Function

function

Glycogen synthase participates in the glycogen biosynthetic process along with glycogenin and glycogen branching enzyme. Extends the primer composed of a few glucose units formed by glycogenin by adding new glucose units to it. In this context, glycogen synthase transfers the glycosyl residue from UDP-Glc to the non-reducing end of alpha-1,4-glucan.
Transfers the glycosyl residue from UDP-Glc to the non-reducing end of alpha-1,4-glucan.

Interaction

Subunit

Part of the GYS1-GYG1 complex, a heterooctamer composed of a tetramer of GYS1 and 2 dimers of GYG1, where each GYS1 protomer binds to one GYG1 subunit (via GYG1 C-terminus); the GYS1 tetramer may dissociate from GYG1 dimers to continue glycogen polymerization on its own.
