We have cloned cDNA molecules encoding another isoform of the alpha subunit of phosphorylase kinase (ATP:phosphorylase-b phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.38). Sequence comparison with the previously characterized muscle isoform reveals a pattern of highly conserved and variable domains and demonstrates that the isoforms are the products of distinct genes. In contrast to the muscle isoform gene, PHKA1, the gene of this additional isoform, PHKA2, is predominantly expressed in liver and other nonmuscle tissues. It was mapped to the distal short arm of the human X chromosome (Xp22.2-p22.1), the same region to which human X-linked liver glycogenosis due to phosphorylase kinase deficiency has been mapped. Thus, X-linked liver glycogenosis is probably caused by mutations affecting PHKA2.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
