A serine/threonine kinase named for its role in the synthesis of this compound is inhibited by lithium in one treatment for bipolar disorder.
A serine/threonine kinase named for its role in the synthesis of this compound is inhibited by lithium in one treatment for bipolar disorder. This compound is synthesized by iteratively attaching subunits containing uridine diphosphate and then cleaving the UDP. It's not associated with the Wnt signaling pathway, but this molecule's production is regulated by the kinases CK-II and GSK-3. This compound's namesake phosphorylase depends on pyridoxal phosphate. Insulin triggers the synthesis of this compound, which is basically a more highly-branched version of the amylopectin found in plant starch. For 10 points, name this polysaccharide form of glucose stored in skeletal muscles and the liver.
