Product Overview:
Glycogen (C₂₄H₄₂O₂₁) is an animal starch, also known as heparanose or glycogen, a branched polysaccharide made from glucose conjugated to an alpha-type glycosidic chain. It is the storage polysaccharide of animals.

Raw Materials Glycogen Powder Details
Glycogen Usage and Synthesis.
Glycogen is a polysaccharide found mainly in the liver and skeletal muscle of mammals, accounting for about 2/3 of the glycogen in the body.
Small amounts of glycogen are also found in other tissues, such as cardiac muscle, kidney and brain. Glycogen is the main form of glucose stored and utilised by cells and plays an important role in muscle movement and liver metabolism.
Glycogen storage disease is an inherited disorder in which glycogen is stored excessively in cells due to a group of abnormalities in glycogen synthesis or catabolism caused by congenital defects in the enzyme systems for glycogen production and catabolism.
Uses of Glycogen.
Glycogen is a polysaccharide found mainly in storage reservoirs within animal and bacterial cells, such as liver cells and myocyte plasma.
The role of glycogen is mainly to provide energy when the body needs it, by converting it into forms such as glucose.
In addition, glycogen can be used as an energy storage substance, stored in the body for emergency use. The breakdown of glycogen is also one of the important ways for the body to produce energy.
The regulation of glycogen metabolism also has important implications for the control of the release of inflammatory factors, tumour therapy, etc.
Synthetics of Glycogen.
The glycogen synthesis reaction catalysed by glycogen synthase cannot synthesize the first sugar molecule from scratch, it needs α-1,4-polyglucose containing at least 4 glucose residues as a primer, which reacts with UDPG at its non-reducing end, and the glucose group C1 on the UDPG forms an α-1,4-glycosidic chain with the non-reducing end of the glycogen molecule, C4, so that the glycogen is increased by one glucose unit. .;
UDPG is a donor of active glucose groups and consumes UTP during its generation, so glycogen synthesis is an energy-consuming process, and glycogen synthase can only contribute to the α-1,4-glycosidic bond, so the enzyme catalyzes the reaction to generate a straight-chain polysaccharide molecule, such as starch, that is composed of a linkage of α-1,4-glycosidic bonds.
