Abstract excerpt
Active-site-specific chaperone therapy for Fabry disease is a genotype-specific therapy using a competitive inhibitor, 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin (DGJ). To elucidate the mechanism of enhancing alpha-galactosidase A (alpha-Gal A) activity by DGJ-treatment, we studied the degradation of a mutant protein and the effect of DGJ in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). We first established an in vitro translation and...
