Abstract excerpt
Alpha-mannosidase IIx (MX) is an enzyme closely related to the Golgi N-glycan processing enzyme alpha-mannosidase II (MII). The enzymatic activity of MX in vitro is minimal. Therefore, the in vivo role of MX in N-glycan processing is as yet unclear. The targeted disruption of the gene encoding MX in the mouse resulted in an obvious phenotype, i.e., MX-deficient males were found to be infertile. Testes from...
