Abstract excerpt
Aspartylglucosaminuria (AGU) is exceptional among lysosomal storage diseases since it represents the only known amidase deficiency in man, being caused by an inadequate function of aspartylglucosaminidase (AGA, E.C. 3.5.1.26.). This amidase is essential in one of the final steps in the ordered breakdown of glycoproteins since it cleaves Asn from the residual N-acetylglucosamines (for reviews see 1, 2). The...
