Glycogen is a highly branched polysaccharide serving as the primary glucose reserve in animals and fungi. Produced via enzymatic synthesis or extraction from liver tissue, its core structure consists of D-glucose units linked by α-1,4-glycosidic bonds with α-1,6 branches. Molecular formula: (C₆H₁₀O₅)ₙ; CAS No.: 9005-79-2.
Requires storage at 2–8°C to prevent microbial degradation. Strict sterile handling is mandatory for clinical applications to avoid pyrogen contamination. Not suitable for direct intravenous injection without pharmaceutical-grade purification.
