GYS2 gene

Description
The GYS2 gene (glycogen synthase 2 (liver)) [HGNC Gene ID:4707] is located on chromosome 12p12.2. The protein encoded by this gene, liver glycogen synthase, catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of glycogen - the transfer of a glucose molecule from UDP-glucose to a terminal branch of the glycogen molecule. Mutations in this gene cause glycogen storage disease type 0 (GSD-0) - a rare type of early childhood fasting hypoglycemia with decreased liver glycogen content.
