Abstract excerpt
The GlcNAc-1-phosphotransferase catalyzes the first step in the formation of mannose 6-phosphate (M6P) residues on lysosomal acid hydrolases that is essential for the efficient transport of newly synthesized lysosomal enzymes to lysosomes and the maintenance of lysosomal functions. Mutations in the GlcNAc-1-phosphotransferase cause the lysosomal storage disease mucolipidosis type II (MLII), resulting in...
