Abstract excerpt
Fabry disease is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficiency of alpha-galactosidase A. Most mutant enzyme is catalytically active but due to misfolding retained in the endoplasmic reticulum. We have tested 4-phenylbutyrate for its potential to rescue various trafficking incompetent mutant alpha-galactosidase A. Although we found that the trafficking blockade for endoplasmic reticulum-retained mutant...
