Description:
The MAN2B1 gene encodes the enzyme lysosomal alpha-mannosidase, which is involved in the catabolism of oligosaccharides released during glycoprotein turnover. It belongs to the glycoside hydrolase family 38. It cleaves alpha-linked mannose residues from the nonreducing end of N-linked glycoproteins. The encoded protein is a 1011 amino acid precursor that is proteolytically processed into three main polypeptides of 70, 42, and 15 kDa. These peptides are referred to as 'abc', 'd', and 'e', respectively. The 'abc' peptide is further processed into three more peptides that are joined by disulfide bridges. The precursor is enzymatically active, hence the proteolytic processing is probably a result of the acidic environment in the lysosome. Defects in this gene have been associated with lysosomal alpha-mannosidosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Leukocytes isolated from human blood exhibit strong α-mannosidase activity. A MAN2B1 variant has been associated with leukocytosis in sickle cell anaemia.
