GlycoErase™ GYS2 Knockout CHO-K1 Cell Line (CAT#: GLJF-0825-JF293)

Description	GlycoErase™ GYS2 knockout CHO-K1 cell line is a CHO-K1 model lacking GYS2 expression. GYS2 encodes liver glycogen synthase, catalyzing the rate-limiting step in glycogen biosynthesis. Mutations are associated with glycogen storage disease type 0 (GSD-0), characterized by fasting hypoglycemia and reduced liver glycogen. This knockout model provides a tool for studying hepatic glycogen regulation, childhood metabolic disease, and therapeutic interventions in energy balance disorders.

Target	GYS2
Full Name	Glycogen Synthase 2
Location	12p12.1
Gene ID	2998
Summary	The protein encoded by this gene, liver glycogen synthase, catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of glycogen - the transfer of a glucose molecule from UDP-glucose to a terminal branch of the glycogen molecule. Mutations in this gene cause glycogen storage disease type 0 (GSD-0) - a rare type of early childhood fasting hypoglycemia with decreased liver glycogen content.
