NAGA alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 4668)
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 4668)
Symbol: NAGA
Full name: alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: D22S674; GALB
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]
