Abstract excerpt
Mucolipidosis II and III are autosomal recessive disorders due to mutations in the GNPTAB and GNPTG genes encoding the alphabeta- and gamma-subunits of the GlcNAc-1-phosphotransferase, respectively. This protein has a subunit structure of alpha(2)beta(2)gamma(2) and initiates the first step of tagging lysosomal enzymes with mannose-6-phosphate (M6P). In the present study, we screened four MLII and three MLIII...
