Disease relevance of glgC

Cloning of the ADPglucose pyrophosphorylase (glgC) and glycogen synthase (glgA) structural genes from Salmonella typhimurium LT2 [1].

High impact information on glgC

Biosynthesis of bacterial glycogen: primary structure of Salmonella typhimurium ADPglucose synthetase as deduced from the nucleotide sequence of the glgC gene [2].
The glgC structural gene contains 1,293 base pairs, having a coding capacity of 431 amino acids [2].
Structural gene mutants of the glycogen biosynthetic enzymes adenosine diphosphate glucose pyrophosphorylase (glgC) and glycogen synthase (glgA) were isolated and partially characterized [3].
