Rabbit Anti-Hexosaminidase A (Hexosaminidase Subunit A, HEXA, Beta-hexosaminidase Subunit alpha, Beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase Subunit alpha, MGC99608, N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase Subunit alpha, TSD)
Hexosaminidase A (alpha Polypeptide), EC=3.2.1.52
HEXA is the alpha subunit of the lysosomal enzyme beta-hexosaminidase that, together with the cofactor GM2 activator protein, catalyzes the degradation of the ganglioside GM2, and other molecules containing terminal N-acetyl hexosamines. Beta-hexosaminidase is composed of two subunits, alpha and beta, which are encoded by separate genes. Both beta-hexosaminidase alpha and beta subunits are members of family 20 of glycosyl hydrolases.
