Adipocytes participate in storage in α-galactosidase deficiency (Fabry disease).

Abstract excerpt

Ultrastructural and histochemical studies of bioptic and postmortem tissue samples from ten Fabry hemizygotes showed lysosomal storage in adipocytes as a constant feature of the classic phenotype of α-galactosidase (GLA) deficiency. The storage was represented by a crescent-shaped line of storage lysosomes of varying thicknesses restricted to the perinuclear subplasmalemmal area. The ultrastructure of the storage...
