GNPTAB

Chr 12AR

N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate transferase subunits alpha and beta

Also known as: GNPTA, ICD

The protein catalyzes the formation of mannose 6-phosphate markers on oligosaccharides in the Golgi apparatus, which are essential for proper trafficking of lysosomal enzymes to lysosomes. Mutations cause mucolipidosis II (I-cell disease) and the milder mucolipidosis IIIA (pseudo-Hurler polydystrophy), both presenting with skeletal dysplasia, coarse facial features, and developmental delay with earlier and more severe manifestations in mucolipidosis II. Inheritance is autosomal recessive.
