Glycogen from oyster has been used:
- as a component in acrylamide slab gels to perform branching enzyme activity staining for quantifying ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPase) activity
- as a sterile inflammatory agent for inoculating into mice for obtaining peritoneal exudate cells (PEC) and to study its effects on the metabolic functions of macrophages
- as a primer for supplementing maleate buffer for amylosucrase assay to measure the activities of the glutathione S-transferase (GST-AS) amylosucrase fusion protein and the purification fractions
- as a supplement in PreScission buffer to perform polymer synthesis reaction
