The accepted name varies according to the source of the enzyme and the nature of its synthetic product (cf. EC 2.4.1.1, phosphorylase). Glycogen synthase from animal tissues is a complex of a catalytic subunit and the protein glycogenin. The enzyme requires glucosylated glycogenin as a primer; this is the reaction product of EC 2.4.1.186 (glycogenin glucosyltransferase). A similar enzyme utilizes ADP-glucose (EC 2.4.1.21, starch synthase).

glycogen synthase catalyzes the key step of glycogen synthesis and plays an important role in glycogen metabolism in liver and muscle, phosphorylation sites regulate the activity of the enzyme
glycogen synthase catalyzes the key step of glycogen synthesis and plays an important role in glycogen metabolism in liver and muscle, phosphorylation sites regulate the activity of the enzyme. Transcriptional regulation of GYS1 during myogenic differentiation in porcine satellite cells, overview. Effect of insulin is primarily mediated via posttranscriptional control the porcine glycogen synthase. Insulin promotes dephosphorylation of glycogen synthase in differentiated porcine satellite cells
regulatory sites of GYS2 that undergo reversible phosphorylation are identified: two of them, sites 2 and 2a, are located near the N-terminus, while the remaining seven sites, 3a, 3b, 3c, 4, and 5 are found within the C-terminus, GYS2 does not contain sites 1a and 1b
