Description

MANBAL (Mannosidase Beta Like) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 20q11.23. The encoded protein is predicted to be a lysosomal beta-mannosidase-like enzyme, potentially involved in the degradation of N-linked glycoproteins. Its exact physiological function remains under investigation, but it is thought to contribute to lysosomal catabolism and cellular homeostasis.

Protein Summary

MANBAL encodes a 456-amino acid protein with a predicted signal peptide and a mannosidase-like domain. It localizes to the lysosome and is thought to participate in the breakdown of mannose-containing glycans. Structural homology suggests it may function as a beta-mannosidase, but enzymatic activity has not been biochemically confirmed.
