Lysosomal alpha-mannosidase

Molecular classification
Enzyme, Glycoside hydrolase family GH38
01

Overview

Lysosomal alpha-mannosidase (LAMAN) is an acidic exoglycosidase enzyme essential for the catabolism of N-linked carbohydrates released during glycoprotein turnover. It cleaves α-1,2, α-1,3, and α-1,6 mannosidic linkages in oligosaccharides within lysosomes. Deficiency or dysfunction of LAMAN leads to alpha-mannosidosis, a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder characterized by accumulation of undegraded oligosaccharides within cells. Mutations in MAN2B1 are responsible for this disease.
