Gene information for NEU1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4758
Official gene symbolNEU1
Full namesialidase 1 (lysosomal sialidase)
Aliases,FLJ93471,NANH,NEU,SIAL1,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a lysosomal enzyme that cleaves terminal sialic acid residues from substrates such as glycoproteins and glycolipids. In the lysosome, this enzyme is part of a heterotrimeric complex together with beta-galactosidase and cathepsin A (the latter is also referred to as 'protective protein'). Mutations in this gene can lead to sialidosis, a lysosomal storage disease that can be type 1 (cherry red spot-myoclonus syndrome or normosomatic type), which is late-onset, or type 2 (the dysmorphic type), which occurs at an earlier age with increased severity.
