Abstract excerpt
Mucolipidosis II (ML II) is a fatal lysosomal storage disorder resulting from defects in the multimeric GlcNAc-1-phosphotransferase responsible for the initial step in the generation of the mannose 6-phosphate (M6P) recognition marker. M6P residues on oligosaccharides of newly synthesized lysosomal enzymes are essential for efficient receptor-mediated transport to lysosomes. We used the recombinant...
