Glycogen, which serves as a major energy reserve in cells, is a large, ... Glycogenin-1, encoded by GYG1, is the muscle isoform, with a molecular weight of 37 kD.

Most of us would probably think of smoking or air pollution when it comes to lung cancer risk, but researchers have discovered an intriguing link between the disease and the quality of our diets.

The disease is characterized by the buildup of a "wrecked" form of glycogen, a stored form of glucose, in the brain and specifically in neurons. It now appears those errors and the structural ...

Among these is glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3). Recent preclinical evidence, including biochemical, pharmacological, ... a Putative Molecular Target for Lithium Mimetic Drugs.

In 2009, Usain Bolt set the world record in the 100-meter dash, thanks in large part to a carb called glycogen. This molecule is stored in skeletal muscle and later released to fuel short and ...
