ENTRY       EC 2.4.1.112
NAME        alpha-1,4-Glucan-protein synthase (ADP-forming)
CLASS       Transferases
            Glycosyltransferases
            Hexosyltransferases
SYSNAME     UDPglucose:protein 4-alpha-glucosyltransferase
REACTION    UDPglucose + Protein = ADP + alpha-D-Glucosyl-protein
SUBSTRATE   UDPglucose
            Protein
PRODUCT     ADP
            alpha-D-Glucosyl-protein
COMMENT     The enzyme builds up alpha-1,4-glucan chains covalently bound to
            protein thus acting as an initiator of glycogen synthesis.
