Abstract

This region represents the catalytic domain of glycogen (or starch) synthases that use ADP-glucose ( 2.4.1.21 ), rather than UDP-glucose ( 2.4.1.11 ) as in animals, as the glucose donor. This enzyme is found in bacteria and plants. Whether the name given is glycogen synthase or starch synthase depends on context, and therefore on substrate.
