To qualify as an urban area, the territory identified according to criteria must encompass at least 2,500 people, at least 1,500 of which reside outside institutional group quarters.
Glycogen synthase (UDP-glucose-glycogen glucosyltransferase) is an enzyme involved in converting glucose to glycogen. It takes short polymers of glucose and converts them into long polymers of glycogen.n the other hand, much less is known about the structure of glycogen synthase, the key regulatory enzyme of glycogen synthesis. The crystal structure of glycogen synthase from Agrobacterium tumefaciens, however, has been determined at 2.3 A resolution.
In addition to GLUT4 translocation, insulin-mediated PI3K and PKB/Akt activation also stimulates glycogen synthesis. The net effect is to balance the level of glucose metabolism in response to excess glucose influx. Insulin-dependent glycogen synthesis is mediated via the activation of of glycogen synthase (GS).
