Identification
HMDB Protein ID HMDBP13972
Secondary Accession Numbers None
Name Beta-hexosaminidase subunit A1
Synonyms
  1. Beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase subunit A1
  2. N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase subunit A1
Gene Name HEXA1
Protein Type Unknown
Biological Properties
General Function Not Available
Specific Function Responsible for the degradation of GM2 gangliosides, and a variety of other molecules containing terminal N-acetyl hexosamines. This enzyme plays a role during the slug stage of development in the maintenance of pseudoplasmodia of normal size.
Pathways
  • Amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism
  • Glycosaminoglycan degradation
  • Glycosphingolipid biosynthesis - ganglio series
  • Glycosphingolipid biosynthesis - globo and isoglobo series
  • Other glycan degradation
  • Various types of N-glycan biosynthesis
