Hexosaminidase B is the beta subunit of the lysosomal enzyme beta-hexosaminidase that, together with the cofactor GM2 activator protein, catalyzes the degradation of the ganglioside GM2, and other molecules containing terminal N-acetyl hexosamines. Beta-hexosaminidase is composed of two subunits, alpha and beta, which are encoded by separate genes. Both beta-hexosaminidase alph... See more...

Hexosaminidase B is the beta subunit of the lysosomal enzyme beta-hexosaminidase that, together with the cofactor GM2 activator protein, catalyzes the degradation of the ganglioside GM2, and other molecules containing terminal N-acetyl hexosamines. Beta-hexosaminidase is composed of two subunits, alpha and beta, which are encoded by separate genes. Both beta-hexosaminidase alpha and beta subunits are members of family 20 of glycosyl hydrolases. Mutations in the alpha or beta subunit genes lead to an accumulation of GM2 ganglioside in neurons and neurodegenerative disorders termed the GM2 gangliosidoses. Beta subunit gene mutations lead to Sandhoff disease (GM2-gangliosidosis type II). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

GeneCards Summary for HEXB Gene
HEXB (Hexosaminidase Subunit Beta) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with HEXB include Sandhoff Disease and Gm2 Gangliosidosis. Among its related pathways are Glycosaminoglycan metabolism and Innate Immune System. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include protein homodimerization activity and hydrolase activity, hydrolyzing O-glycosyl compounds. An important paralog of this gene is HEXA.
UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Summary for HEXB Gene
-
Hydrolyzes the non-reducing end N-acetyl-D-hexosamine and/or sulfated N-acetyl-D-hexosamine of glycoconjugates, such as the oligosaccharide moieties from proteins and neutral glycolipids, or from certain mucopolysaccharides (PubMed:11707436, PubMed:9694901, PubMed:8672428, PubMed:8123671). The isozyme B does not hydrolyze each of these substrates, however hydrolyzes efficiently neutral oligosaccharide (PubMed:11707436). Only the isozyme A is responsible for the degradation of GM2 gangliosides in the presence of GM2A (PubMed:9694901, PubMed:8672428, PubMed:8123671).

- There are 3 forms of beta-hexosaminidase: hexosaminidase A is an heterodimer composed of one subunit alpha and one subunit beta (chain A and B); hexosaminidase B is an homodimer of two beta subunits (two chains A and B); hexosaminidase S is a homodimer of two alpha subunits (By similarity). The composition of the dimer (isozyme A versus isozyme S) has a significant effect on the substrate specificity of the alpha subunit active site (PubMed:8672428).

HEXB_HUMAN- GM2-gangliosidosis 2 (GM2G2) [MIM:268800]: An autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease marked by the accumulation of GM2 gangliosides in the neuronal cells. Clinically indistinguishable from GM2-gangliosidosis type 1, presenting startle reactions, early blindness, progressive motor and mental deterioration, macrocephaly and cherry-red spots on the macula. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:1531140, ECO:0000269 PubMed:1720305, ECO:0000269 PubMed:7557963, ECO:0000269 PubMed:7626071, ECO:0000269 PubMed:7633435, ECO:0000269 PubMed:8357844, ECO:0000269 PubMed:8950198, ECO:0000269 PubMed:9401004, ECO:0000269 PubMed:9694901, ECO:0000269 PubMed:9856491}.
