The '''glycogen debranching enzyme''', in humans, is the protein encoded by the [[gene]] ''AGL''.<ref name=Gene/> This enzyme is essential for the [[Glycogenolysis|breakdown]] of [[glycogen]], which serves as a store of glucose in the body. It has separate glucosyltransferase and glucosidase activities.<ref name="Song"/><ref name="Bao"/>

Their catalyses are similar to that of alpha-amylase and glucoamylase, respectively. Their active sites are selective towards the respective substrates, ensuring proper activation of GDE. Besides the active sites GDE have additional binding sites for glycogen, which are important for its recruitment to glycogen. Mapping the disease-causing mutations onto the GDE structure provided insights into glycogen storage disease type III.

== Genetic ___location ==

The official name for the gene is "amylo-α-1,6-glucosidase, 4-α-glucanotransferase", with the official symbol AGL. AGL is an autosomal gene found on chromosome 1p21.<ref name=Hondoh/> The AGL gene provides instructions for making several different versions, known as isoforms, of the glycogen debranching enzyme. These isoforms vary by size and are expressed in different tissues, such as liver and muscle. This gene has been studied in great detail, because mutation at this gene is the cause of Glycogen Storage Disease Type III.<ref name=Gene/>

The gene is 85 kb long, has 35 [[exon]]s and encodes for a 7.0 kb mRNA. Translation of the gene begins at exon 3, which encodes for the first 27 amino acids of the AGL gene, because the first two exons (68kb) contain the 5' untranslated region. Exons 4-35 encode the remaining 1505 amino acids of the AGL gene.<ref name= Bao/>

Studies produced by the department of pediatrics at Duke University suggest that the human AGL gene contains at minimum 2 promotor regions, sites where the transcription of the gene begins, that result in differential expression of isoform, different forms of the same protein, mRNAs in a manner that is specific for different tissues.<ref name = Gillard /><ref name=Ding />
