| Background Information | The HEXA protein, also known as beta-hexosaminidase subunit alpha, is an enzyme crucial for breaking down gangliosides, particularly GM2, in lysosomes within cells, according to Prospec Protein Specialists and National Institutes of Health (NIH). A deficiency in this enzyme, often caused by mutations in the HEXA gene, leads to Tay-Sachs disease, where GM2 gangliosides accumulate in nerve cells, causing neurological damage. |
