Description: Rabbit IgG polyclonal antibody for Beta-hexosaminidase subunit beta(HEXB) detection. Tested with WB, IHC-P in Human.
Background: Beta-hexosaminidase subunit beta (HEXB) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the HEXB gene. It is mapped to 5q13.3. HEXB is the beta subunit of the lysosomal enzyme beta-hexosaminidase that, together with the cofactor GM2 activator protein, catalyzes the degradation of the ganglioside GM2, and other molecules containing terminal N-acetyl hexosamines. Beta subunit gene mutations lead to Sandhoff disease (GM2-gangliosidosis type II). It has been found that HEXB is a peptidoglycan hydrolase and it is involved in restricting mycobacteria growth even before the onset of adaptive immunity.

NCBI Summary for HEXB
Hexosaminidase B is the beta subunit of the lysosomal enzyme beta-hexosaminidase that, together with the cofactor GM2 activator protein, catalyzes the degradation of the ganglioside GM2, and other molecules containing terminal N-acetyl hexosamines. Beta-hexosaminidase is composed of two subunits, alpha and beta, which are encoded by separate genes. Both beta-hexosaminidase alpha and beta subunits are members of family 20 of glycosyl hydrolases. Mutations in the alpha or beta subunit genes lead to an accumulation of GM2 ganglioside in neurons and neurodegenerative disorders termed the GM2 gangliosidoses. Beta subunit gene mutations lead to Sandhoff disease (GM2-gangliosidosis type II). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

UniProt Comments for HEXB
HEXB: Responsible for the degradation of GM2 gangliosides, and a variety of other molecules containing terminal N-acetyl hexosamines, in the brain and other tissues. Defects in HEXB are the cause of GM2-gangliosidosis type 2 (GM2G2); also known as Sandhoff disease. GM2- gangliosidosis is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease marked by the accumulation of GM2 gangliosides in the neuronal cells. GM2G2 is clinically indistinguishable from GM2- gangliosidosis type 1, presenting startle reactions, early blindness, progressive motor and mental deterioration, macrocephaly and cherry-red spots on the macula. Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 20 family.
