“…As a consequence, the lysosomes accumulate undegraded material. The α and β subunits of GlcNAc-1-phosphotransferase, encoded by the gene GNPTAB, harbor the catalytic site as well as domains that mediate the recognition of the acid hydrolases (DMAP and Notch repeats) (Kudo, et al, 2005; Qian, et al, 2013; Qian, et al, 2010; Qian, et al, 2015; van Meel, et al, 2016). Depending on the residual level of GlcNAc-1-phosphotransferase activity, mutations in GNPTAB either cause the very severe lysosomal storage disorder mucolipidosis (ML) II (MIM# 252500), or result in MLIII αβ (MIM# 252600), which has an attenuated phenotype (Kudo, et al, 2006).…”
