Explain Glycogen

Glycogen is the storage polysaccharide found in the muscle and liver of animals and humans. It is a branched polymer having about 8  to 10 glucose units in each branch. Like amylopectin,  its straight chains are  formed by  a(1,4)  glycosidic linkages and a(1,6)  glycosidic linkage exists at  branch  points. Thus,  the  chemical  structure of glycogen and amylopectin are similar  except that the former is more branched.
