A polydisperse, highly branched glucan composed of chains of D-glucopyranose residues in alpha(1->4) glycosidic linkage, joined together by alpha(1->6) glycosidic linkages. A small number of alpha(1->3) glycosidic linkages and some cumulative alpha(1->6) links also may occur. The branches in glycogen typically contain 8 to 12 glucose residues.
Estradiol promotes the reaction [INS protein results in increased chemical synthesis of Glycogen]; Glucose inhibits the reaction [INS protein results in increased chemical synthesis of Glycogen]; mono-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate inhibits the reaction [INS protein results in increased abundance of Glycogen]; RBP4 protein promotes the reaction [mono-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate inhibits the reaction [INS protein results in increased abundance of Glycogen]]; Testosterone promotes the reaction [INS protein results in increased chemical synthesis of Glycogen]
