The initiation of glycogen biosynthesis in rat heart α‐1,4 glucans tightly associated with glycogen synthase

A partially purified glycogen synthase from rat cardiac muscle transferred glucosyl residues from UDP‐[14C]glucose to an endogenous protein acceptor in the absence of added primer. After native gel electrophoresis of the enzyme preparation, unprimed activity was detected. Primer‐dependent and indepe...
