NAGA alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase

Gene ID: 4668, updated on 5-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: GALB; D22S674

Summary

NAGA encodes the lysosomal enzyme alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase, which cleaves alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminyl moieties from glycoconjugates. Mutations in NAGA have been identified as the cause of Schindler disease types I and II (type II also known as Kanzaki disease). [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
