Abstract excerpt
Modification of the carbohydrate chains of soluble lysosomal enzymes with mannose 6-phosphate residues is a prerequisite for their mannose 6-phosphate receptor-dependent transport to lysosomes. GlcNac-1-phosphotransferase localized in the Golgi apparatus represents a hexameric alpha(2)beta(2)gamma(2) subunit complex and plays a key role in the formation of the mannose 6-phosphate recognition marker. Defects in...
