Hexosaminidase B/HEXB Proteins and Enzymes

HEXB, also known as Beta-hexosaminidase subunit beta, is a 556 amino acid that is 63 kDa, lysosome located, composed of two subunits, alpha and beta, which are encoded by separate gene, and in control of the degradation of GM2 gangliosides and other molecules containing terminal N-acetyl hexosamines, in the brain and other tissues. Current research is being performed on several diseases and disorders including gangliosidosis, sandhoff disease, infantile, juvenile, and adult forms, tay-sachs ...
