beta-Hexosaminidase A (HEXA) + GM2 activator
Clinical / pharmacological. Tay-Sachs disease
What it does, reaction by reaction
Sphingolipid Degradation (Lysosomal) Lipid Metabolism · Lysosome
GM2 ganglioside -> GM3 ganglioside + N-acetylgalactosamine
Converts GM2 ganglioside into GM3 ganglioside N-acetylgalactosamine
› Notes
HEXA deficiency causes Tay-Sachs disease (cherry-red macula, no hepatosplenomegaly); HEXA+HEXB deficiency causes Sandhoff disease.
Showing all 1 reactions.
