- Lysosomal alpha-n-acetylgalactosaminidas...
Bacteria and animals cause lysosomal alpha-n-acetylgalactosaminidas. It is a glycoside hydrolase which is also known as nagalase. NAGA is an enzyme that is coded as a human gene that mutates. The mutations in the gene and the deficiency in alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase are caused due to Schindler disease. The activity of this enzyme converts type A blood to blood type O. Therefore, its name is A-zyme. Bacterial enzymes and A-zyme carry out r Read More
