Involvement in diseasei

GM2-gangliosidosis 2 (GM2G2)10 Publications
The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Disease descriptionAn autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease marked by the accumulation of GM2 gangliosides in the neuronal cells. Clinically indistinguishable from GM2-gangliosidosis type 1, presenting startle reactions, early blindness, progressive motor and mental deterioration, macrocephaly and cherry-red spots on the macula.

Interactioni

Subunit structurei

There are 3 forms of beta-hexosaminidase: hexosaminidase A is a trimer composed of one subunit alpha, one subunit beta chain A and one subunit beta chain B; hexosaminidase B is a tetramer of two subunit beta chains A and two subunit beta chains B; hexosaminidase S is a homodimer of two alpha subunits. The two beta chains are derived from the cleavage of the beta subunit.
