Mouse N-Acetylgalactosaminidase Alpha (NAGA) ELISA Kit

Background

N-Acetylgalactosaminidase Alpha (NAGA) is an enzyme involved in the breakdown of complex carbohydrates. catalyzes the hydrolysis of terminal alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminyl residues in glycoproteins and glycolipids (lysosomes), Deficiency in NAGA enzyme activity leads to a rare genetic disorder known as Schindler disease, which is characterized by the accumulation of certain glycoproteins and glycolipids in lysosomes. Schindler disease can manifest in different forms, including Schindler disease type I and type II, depending on the severity of the enzyme deficiency. Symptoms of Schindler disease can vary widely but may include developmental delay, intellectual disability, seizures, skeletal abnormalities, and other neurological and systemic manifestations. The severity and progression of the disease can also vary, ranging from mild to severe.
