Lysosomal degradation of ganglioside GM2 by hexosaminidase A requires the presence of a small, non-enzymatic cofactor, the GM2-activator protein (GM2AP). Lack of functional protein leads to the AB variant of GM2-gangliosidosis, a fatal lysosomal storage disease. Although its possible mode of action
Two CpG mutations at codon 504 of the gene encoding the alpha-subunit of beta-hexosaminidase (the HEX A gene) have been identified previously: (1) a C deletion resulting in premature termination of the alpha-subunit and (2) a G----A transition resulting in 504Arg----His substitution, in patients
