Note

  • /defic: consider also BETA-MANNOSIDOSIS

Scope note

  • An enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of terminal, non-reducing beta-D-mannose residues in beta-D-mannosides. The enzyme plays a role in the lysosomal degradation of the N-glycosylprotein glycans. Defects in the lysosomal form of the enzyme in humans result in a buildup of mannoside intermediate metabolites and the disease BETA-MANNOSIDOSIS.

History note

  • 2004; use BETA-MANNOSIDASE (NM) 1980-2003
