Mannosidase
Mannosidase is an enzyme which hydrolyses mannose.
There are two types:
- alpha-Mannosidase
- beta-Mannosidase
A deficiency is associated with mannosidosis.
A family of mannosidases are also responsible for processing newly formed glycoproteins in the endoplasmic reticulum into mature glycoproteins containing highly heterogeneous complex-type glycans.
