The protein encoded by this gene is a lysosomal enzyme
that cleaves terminal sialic acid residues from substrates such as
glycoproteins and glycolipids. In the lysosome, this enzyme is part
of a heterotrimeric complex together with beta-galactosidase and
cathepsin A (the latter is also referred to as 'protective
protein'). Mutations in this gene can lead to sialidosis, a
lysosomal storage disease that can be type 1 (cherry red
spot-myoclonus syndrome or normosomatic type), which is late-onset,
or type 2 (the dysmorphic type), which occurs at an earlier age
with increased severity.1) Caciotti, A., et al. J. Neurol. 256(11):1911-1915(2009)
