Also known as MPS-IIIB, MPS3B, NAG, UFHSD, CMT2V, N-acetyl-alpha-glucosaminidase
N-acetylglucosaminidase, alpha is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NAGLU gene.
This gene encodes an enzyme that degrades heparan sulfate by hydrolysis of terminal N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminides. Defects in this gene are the cause of mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIB (MPS-IIIB), also known as Sanfilippo syndrome B. This disease is characterized by the lysosomal accumulation and urinary excretion of heparan sulfate. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
