| Background Information | The HEXB gene provides instructions for producing the beta subunit of two related enzymes, beta-hexosaminidase A and beta-hexosaminidase B, which are essential for breaking down certain molecules in the brain and spinal cord. These enzymes, found in lysosomes within nerve cells, are crucial for the degradation of fatty compounds like sphingolipids and complex sugars. Mutations in the HEXB gene can lead to GM2 gangliosidoses, a group of neurodegenerative disorders characterized by the accumulation of GM2 ganglioside in nerve cells. |
