GlycoFlux™ Human GBE1 Overexpression Raji Cell Line

GlycoFlux™ human GBE1 overexpression Raji cell line is a stable cell line engineered to overexpress GBE1, a glycogen branching enzyme that transfers α-1,4-linked glucosyl units to α-1,6 positions, introducing branch points in glycogen. This branching increases glycogen solubility and reduces osmotic pressure in cells, with highest enzyme levels found in liver and muscle. Mutations in GBE1 cause glycogen storage disease IV (Andersen's disease). This model enables research on glycogen architecture, enzyme deficiency, and therapeutic strategies for glycogen storage disorders.

GBE1

1,4-Alpha-Glucan Branching Enzyme 1

GBE; APBD; GSD4

3p12.2

The protein encoded by this gene is a glycogen branching enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of alpha-1,4-linked glucosyl units from the outer end of a glycogen chain to an alpha-1,6 position on the same or a neighboring glycogen chain. Branching of the chains is essential to increase the solubility of the glycogen molecule and, consequently, in reducing the osmotic pressure within cells. Highest level of this enzyme are found in liver and muscle. Mutations in this gene are associated with glycogen storage disease IV (also known as Andersen's disease).
