|
| Function |
Required for sufficient glycogen accumulation. The alpha 1-6 branches of glycogen play an important role in increasing the solubility of the molecule and, consequently, in reducing the osmotic pressure within cells.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Highest levels found in liver and muscle.
|
| Top Pathways |
Starch and sucrose metabolism
