Disease
HEXB_HUMAN Defects in HEXB are the cause of GM2-gangliosidosis type 2 (GM2G2) [MIM:268800; also known as Sandhoff disease. GM2-gangliosidosis is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease marked by the accumulation of GM2 gangliosides in the neuronal cells. GM2G2 is clinically indistinguishable from GM2-gangliosidosis type 1, presenting startle reactions, early blindness, progressive motor and mental deterioration, macrocephaly and cherry-red spots on the macula.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]
Function
HEXB_HUMAN Responsible for the degradation of GM2 gangliosides, and a variety of other molecules containing terminal N-acetyl hexosamines, in the brain and other tissues.
