glycogene

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.09816
Gene encoding an enzyme or other functional protein for glycan synthesis.
Notes:
  1. The term should not be confused with glycogen (an energy-storage glucose polysacharide in animals and fungi).
  2. Proteins for glycan synthesis include glycosyltransferases, sugar-nucleotide synthases, sugar-nucleotide transporters, and sulfotransferases (see glycosylation, activated nucleotide sugars).
