Popis: | Glu178 is the active site residue essential for substrate affinity and catalytic activity of the aspartoacylase enzyme. Sanger sequencing in an infant with Canavan disease revealed a homozygous ASPA: c.532G>A: p. (Glu178Lys) variant. Glu178Lys is the first ever variant reported at the critical active site of aspartoacylase protein and this variant might significantly disrupt substrate interaction. |
