| Description : |
Human saposin C is small, heat-stable glycoprotein activator of lysosomal glycosphingolipid hydrolases that derive from a single precursor, prosaposin, by proteolytic cleavage. Of the prosaposin derived saposins, saposin C shows the highest amino acid identity/similarity to saposin A. Saposin C is an essential activator for glucocerebrosidase, the enzyme deficient in Gaucher disease. It plays role in antigen presentation of lipids through CD1b to human T cells. Saposins are glycosylated in a native state; however, non-glycosylated recombinant saposins produced in E. coli retain their respective activation effects in functional in vitro assays. |
