<p>This entry represents the glycogen branching enzymes, which are responsible for the transfer of chains of approximately seven alpha(1,4)-linked glucosyl residues to other similar chains (in new alpha-(1,6) linkages) in the biosynthesis of glycogen [<cite idref="PUB00027652"/>]. The branching enzyme is responsible for the degree of alpha(1,6) branch linkages found in polysaccharides [<cite idref="PUB00027653"/>].</p> 1,4-alpha-glucan-branching enzyme
