Description

Glycogen, CAS # 9005-79-2 is a highly branched, polysaccharide form of glucose used for energy storage in humans and other animals.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Acros Organics product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Acros Organics product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

General Description
Glycogen is the main form in which energy is stored in animals as well as other higher organisms
It consists of a core protein unit surrounded by highly branched glucose units
Glycogen is synthesized through a series of enzymatic reactions and stored mainly in the liver and skeletal muscle to provide energy during fasting periods and during muscle contraction
Glycogen is an analog of starch, an energy store in plants, though it is both more compact and more highly branched than starch
Applications
Glycogen is most commonly used as an inert carrier substance for nucleic acid precipitation that may increase DNA and RNA extraction efficiency
