Glycogen, Mussel is a glycolytic intermediate and high-energy phosphate that can serve as a form of energy storage in humans, animals, fungi, and bacteria. It is a branched polymer of glucose stored mainly in the liver and skeletal muscle in the human body, supplying glucose to the bloodstream during fasting and to muscle cells during contraction.
