Glycogen synthase
Adds UDP-glucose onto an existing glycogen chain, alpha(1-4) linkages only. Glycogen chain must be >4 units long though.
Glycogenin
The prime mover of glycogen synthesis. Protein auto-glycosylates itself, using UDP-glucose to attach glucose to a tyrosine residue, up to 8 units long.
Branching enzyme
Aka glucosyl alpha-4,6-transferase. When alpha(1-4) glucose chains reach at least 11 residues, branching enzyme can come in and move a 7 glucose unit chain to a 6 position on a nearby chain (the 6 position must be at least 4 units from nearest existing branch point).
