Abstract excerpt
G(M1)-gangliosidosis is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by acid beta-galactosidase deficiency. Aside from the lysosomal beta-galactosidase enzyme, the beta-galactosidase gene also encodes the elastin-binding protein (EBP), deficiency in which impairs elastogenesis. Using expression studies and Western blots of COS-1 cells, we identified and characterized four new and two known beta-galactosidase gene...
