Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables phosphorylase kinase activity. Involved in glycogen catabolic process and positive regulation of glycogen catabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be part of phosphorylase kinase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in glycogen storage disease; glycogen storage disease IXc; and liver cirrhosis. Orthologous to human PHKG2 (phosphorylase kinase catalytic subunit gamma 2).
