Lysosomal alpha-mannosidase and alpha-mannosidosis.

Abstract excerpt

Lysosomal alpha-mannosidase with acidic pH optimum is ubiquitous in human tissues where is expressed in two major forms, A and B that are the product of a single gene located on chromosome 19. Mutations in the gene encoding for alpha-mannosidase cause alpha- mannosidosis, an autosomal recessive disease, resulting in the accumulation of unprocessed mannose containing oligosaccharide material.
