General description
Glycogenin 2 (GYG2) is a key enzyme in the synthesis of glycogen. It is a self-glycosylating protein. This gene spans 46kb, has 11 exons and localizes to chromosome Xp22.3. GYG2 is expressed in liver, heart and pancreas. It has 3 isoforms- glycogenins-α, β and γ. Glycogenin-2β is the major isoform to be expressed in liver.

Application
All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.
The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions
Glycogenin-2 (GYG2) plays a major role in the synthesis of glycogen in liver. It initiates glycogen synthesis by forming the first glucose-O-tyrosine linkage in the presence of UDP-glucose. It forms homodimers as well as heterodimers with glycogenin-1. Glycogenin-1 facilitates self-glucosylation of glycogenin-2, with the vice-versa not being true. GYG2 can regulate glycogen synthesis, and the levels of GYG2 are correlated to the amount of glycogen present in liver. Studies suggest that there might be an association between mutations in this gene and Leigh syndrome (LS), which is an early-onset neurodegenerative disorder.
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Glycogen synthesis is initiated by self-glucosylation of the glycosyltransferases glycogenin-1 and -2 that, in the presence of UDP-glucose, form both the first glucose-O-tyrosine linkage, and then stepwise add a series of α1,4-linked glucoses to a growing chain of variable length.
