Other Information

**Key characteristics:** - GYS2 is a glycosyltransferase that catalyzes the transfer of a glucose molecule from glucose-1-phosphate to a molecule of GTP. - It is a subunit of the GYS2 complex, which also includes GYS1. - It is a highly conserved protein, with a similar sequence in mammals, birds, and fish. **Pathways and functions:** - GYS2 is involved in the regulation of glycogen synthesis in the cytoplasm and cytosol. - It is also involved in the regulation of glycogen synthesis in the liver. - It is a key regulator of hepatic glucose metabolism. - Dysregulation of GYS2 has been linked to a number of diseases, including diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. **Clinical significance:** - GYS2 is a potential therapeutic target for a number of diseases that are characterized by abnormal glycogen metabolism. - For example, GYS2 inhibitors are being investigated as a treatment for diabetes and obesity. - Understanding the role of GYS2 in glycogen metabolism could lead to the development of new therapies for these diseases. **Additional information:** - The GYS2 gene is located on chromosome 15q21.1. - It is a highly expressed gene in the human body. - It is a well-studied gene, and there are a number of mutations that have been linked to its dysfunction.
