General annotation (Comments)

Function

Multifunctional enzyme acting as 1,4-alpha-D-glucan:1,4-alpha-D-glucan 4-alpha-D-glycosyltransferase and amylo-1,6-glucosidase in glycogen degradation.

Catalytic activity

Transfers a segment of a (1->4)-alpha-D-glucan to a new position in an acceptor, which may be glucose or a (1->4)-alpha-D-glucan.

Hydrolysis of (1->6)-alpha-D-glucosidic branch linkages in glycogen phosphorylase limit dextrin.

Subunit structure

Monomer.

Tissue specificity

Liver, kidney and lymphoblastoid cells express predominantly isoform 1; whereas muscle and heart express not only isoform 1, but also muscle-specific isoform mRNAs (isoforms 2, 3 and 4). Isoforms 5 and 6 are present in both liver and muscle.

Post-translational modification

The N-terminus is blocked.

Involvement in disease

Defects in AGL are the cause of glycogen storage disease type 3 (GSD3) [MIM:232400]; also known as Forbes disease. GSD3 is a metabolic disorder associated with an accumulation of abnormal glycogen with short outer chains. Three GSD3 types are recognized: GSD type 3A patients lack glycogen debrancher enzyme activity in both liver and muscle, while GSD type 3B patients are enzyme-deficient in liver only. In rare cases, selective loss of only 1 of the 2 debranching activities, glucosidase or transferase, results in GSD type 3C or type 3D, respectively. GSD3 is clinically characterized by hepatomegaly, hypoglycemia, short stature, and variable myopathy. Ref.11

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the glycogen debranching enzyme family.

Alternative products

This entry describes 3 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select]
Isoform 1 (identifier: P35573-1)

Also known as: 2; 3; 4;

This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.
Note: The products of the mRNAs termed isoforms 1 to 4 are identical.
Isoform 5 (identifier: P35573-2)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     1-27: MGHSKQIRILLLNEMEKLEKTLFRLEQ → MSLLTCAFYL
Isoform 6 (identifier: P35573-3)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     1-27: MGHSKQIRILLLNEMEKLEKTLFRLEQ → MAPILSINLFI
