Aspartylglucosaminidase, also known as AGA, is a human gene.[1]
Aspartylglucosaminidase is an amidohydrolaseenyzme involved in the catabolism of N-linked oligosaccharides of glycoproteins. It cleaves asparagine from N-acetylglucosamines as one of the final steps in the lysosomal breakdown of glycoproteins. The lysosomal storage disease aspartylglycosaminuria is caused by a deficiency in the AGA enzyme.[1]
