GlycoFlux™ Human GYG2 Overexpression CHO-K1 Cell Line (CAT#: GLJF-0925-JF291)

Description	GlycoFlux™ human GYG2 overexpression CHO-K1 cell line is a stable glycoengineered line that constitutively overexpresses glycogenin-2 (GYG2), a liver-biased glycogen primer distinct from muscle GYG1. Use it to compare tissue-isoform control of glycogen initiation, probe effects on ER/Golgi donor-sugar pools and secretory glycoprotein quality, and assess sequence designs that modulate primer efficiency and glycan outcomes.

Target	GYG2
Full Name	Glycogenin 2
Alternative Name	GN2; GN-2
Location	Xp22.33
Gene ID	8908
Summary	This gene encodes a member of the the glycogenin family. Glycogenin is a self-glucosylating protein involved in the initiation reactions of glycogen biosynthesis. A gene on chromosome 3 encodes the muscle glycogenin and this X-linked gene encodes the glycogenin mainly present in liver; both are involved in blood glucose homeostasis. This gene has a short version on chromosome Y, which is 3' truncated and can not make a functional protein. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.
