Abstract excerpt
Fabry disease is a lysosomal storage disease caused by deficiency in the enzyme alpha-galactosidase (alpha-GAL). To understand the molecular defects responsible for Fabry disease, we have collected more than 190 reported point and stop mutations and mapped them onto a model of human alpha-GAL based on the X-ray structure of the closely related enzyme alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase (alpha-NAGAL). The locations of...
