Description: This entry consists of glycogen branching enzyme GlgB from bacteria and GBE1 from eukaryotes, which are responsible for the transfer of chains of alpha(1,4)-linked glucosyl residues to other similar chains (in new alpha-(1,6) linkages) in the biosynthesis of glycogen []. GlgB is responsible for the degree of alpha(1,6) branch linkages found in polysaccharides []. GBE1 is required for normal glycogen accumulation in animals [, ]. Deficiency in GBE1 results in glycogen storage disease type IV [].
