[1] [1] Escherichia coli Branching Enzyme (BE) (1,4-a-glucan 6-glucosyltransferase)catalyzes the formation of a-1,6 branch points of glycogen (similar process for start with starch branching points). The enzyme contains three domains: a NH2-terminal seven stranded b-sandwich domain, a COOH-terminal domain, and a central a/b-barrel domain containing the enzyme active site. The branching enzyme belongs to the a-amylase family of enzymes.

Glyogen Storage Disease type IV

Mutations in the gene of Branching Enzyme can result in the accumulation of insoluble glycogen in the cell known as Glycogen Storage Disease type IV (GSD-IV). This results in an impaired enzyme which prevents the formation of branch points in glycogen, producing an insoluble polymer. Different forms of GSD-Iv affects the liver, muscular tissue, and/or the central and peripheral nervous system.
