Glycogen phosphorylase, muscle associated (PYGM) encodes glycogen phosphorylase or myophosphorylase. In human chromosome, the gene PYGM is localized on 11q13.1.

PYGM (NP_005600, 703-737)
This antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide selected from the C-terminal region of human PYGM.

PYGM catalyses and regulates the breakdown of glycogen to glucose-1-phosphate. Defects in PYGM are the cause of Glycogenosis type V/ glycogen storage disease type 5 (GSD5), also known as McArdle disease/ myophosphorylase deficiency, is an autosomal recessive disorder. GSD5 is a metabolic disorder resulting in myopathy characterized by exercise intolerance, cramps, muscle weakness and recurrent myoglobinuria.

Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide.
