c.376A>G, (p.Ser126Gly) Alpha-Galactosidase A mutation induces ER stress, unfolded protein response and reduced enzyme trafficking to lysosome: Possible relevance in the pathogenesis of late-onset forms of Fabry Disease.

Abstract excerpt

Fabry Disease (FD) (OMIM 301500) is a metabolic X-linked inherited lysosomal storage disorder that results from the deficient activity of Alpha-Galactosidase A (Alpha-Gal), a lysosomal hydrolase that cleaves neutral glycosphingolipids with terminal N-linked galactosyl moieties, mainly globotriaosylceramides (Gb3). The enzyme, encoded by a 12-kb gene mapping on the long arm (Xq22.1 region) of the X chromosome, is...
