A non-glycosylated and functionally deficient mutant (N215H) of the sphingolipid activator protein B (SAP-B) in a novel case of metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD).

Abstract excerpt

The lysosomal degradation of sphingolipids with short oligosaccharide chains depends on small glycosylated non-enzymatic sphingolipid activator proteins (SAPs, saposins). Four of the five known SAPs, SAP-A, -B, -C and -D, are derived by proteolytic processing from a common precursor protein (SAP-precursor) that is encoded by a gene on chromosome 10 consisting of 15 exons and 14 introns. SAP-B is a non-specific...
