摘要
It has been shown through the use of specifically labeled Tay-Sachs ganglioside that normal human muscle tissue contains enzymes which catalyze the hydrolysis of the N-acetylneuraminyl and N-acetylgalactosaminyl moieties of this ganglioside. The hydrolysis of the N-acetylneuraminyl moiety in muscle preparations from patients with Tay-Sachs disease was similar to that of the controls. The enzyme which catalyzes the hydrolysis of the N-acetylgalactosaminyl moiety was completely absent in preparations from patients with Tay-Sachs disease. © 1969.
