Glycogen synthase expression of the muscle isozyme and not the liver isozyme. However, muscle-specific glycogen synthase activation may lead to excessive accumulation of glycogen, leading to damage in the heart and central nervous system following ischemic insults. The reaction is highly regulated by allosteric effectors such as glucose-6-phosphate (activator) and by phosphorylation reactions (deactivating). Glucose-6-phosphate allosteric activating action allows glycogen synthase to operate as a glucose-6-phosphate sensor. The inactivating phosphorylation is triggered by the hormone glucagon, which is secreted by the pancreas in response to decreased blood glucose levels. The enzyme also cleaves the ester bond between the C1 position of glucose
The body in traditional Chinese medicine trunk, and ends under the collarbone. (2)The Bladder, a Yang organ, stores and removes fluid from the body by receiving Kidney chi.
