Gene Symbol GAA
Gene Full Name glucosidase, alpha; acid
Background This gene encodes acid alpha-glucosidase, which is essential for the degradation of glycogen to glucose in lysosomes. Different forms of acid alpha-glucosidase are obtained by proteolytic processing. Defects in this gene are the cause of glycogen storage disease II, also known as Pompe's disease, which is an autosomal recessive disorder with a broad clinical spectrum. Three transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Function Essential for the degradation of glygogen to glucose in lysosomes. [UniProt]
Cellular Localization Lysosome. Lysosome membrane. [UniProt]
PTM The different forms of acid glucosidase are obtained by proteolytic processing.

Phosphorylation of mannose residues ensures efficient transport of the enzyme to the lysosomes via the mannose 6-phosphate receptor. [UniProt]
