Mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIB: characterisation and expression of wild-type and mutant recombinant alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase and relationship with sanfilippo phenotype in an attenuated patient.

Abstract excerpt

Mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIB (MPS-IIB) is a lysosomal storage disorder characterised by the defective degradation of heparan sulfate due to a deficiency of alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase (NAG). The clinical severity of MPS-IIIB ranges from an attenuated to severely affected Sanfilippo phenotype. This paper describes the expression and characterisation of wild-type recombinant NAG and the molecular...
