Protein Variants Comment Organism
betaAsp452Asn/betaLeu453Arg the mutant enzyme of HexB exhibits more than 30fold increase in its ability to hydrolyze a 6-sulfated substrate and is able to hydrolyze GM2 ganglioside when the GM2 activator protein is replaced by sodium taurocholate Homo sapiens
R424Q the mutant form of HexA shows about 3fold increase in its Km-value for the complex of GM2 activator protein and GM2 ganglioside Homo sapiens
