Abcam, ab146544, Glycogen, polymer of glucose

Size: 1g / 5g
MW 0 g/mol. Branched polymer of glucose synthesized by animal cells for energy storage and release. It is an analog of starch, has a similar structure to amylopectin, and functions as a secondary long-term energy storage. Used as a carrier substance for nucleic acid precipitation. Acts as an inert carrier which significantly increases the recovery of extracted DNA and RNA by ethanol precipitation.
