Abstrakt: The biosynthesis of human alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase (alpha-NAGA) was studied in normal fibroblasts and in cells from patients with infantile alpha-NAGA deficiency. Normal alpha-NAGA is synthesized as a 52 kDa precursor which matures to a 49 kDa species through phosphorylation and carbohydrate triming. Fibroblasts from the patients synthesize normal amounts of a 52 kDa precursor, however phosphorylation does not occur and this precursor is subsequently degraded intracellularly.
