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 primarily stored in the liver and skeletal muscle in the human body, providing glucose to the bloodstream during fasting and to muscle cells during contraction.
