Glycogenin glucosyltransferase; self-glucosylating initiator of glycogen synthesis, also glucosylates n-dodecyl-beta-D-maltoside; SWAT-GFP and mCherry fusion proteins localize to the cell periphery and vacuole respectively; similar to mammalian glycogenin; GLG1 has a paralog, GLG2, that arose from the whole genome duplication [Source:SGD;Acc:S000001766]
Chromosome XI: 552,770-554,620 forward strand.
R64-1-1:BK006944.2
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 345 orthologues and 2 paralogues.
