Biochem/physiol Actions
Lysosomal α-glucosidase (GAA) uses mannose-6-phosphate receptors for its localization on the lysosomes. It mediates the hydrolysis of glycogen to glucose. Mutations in the GAA gene impair acid alpha-glucosidase enzyme activity. Deficiency of GAA leads to a rare lysosomal storage disease namely Pompe disease.

General description
Lysosomal α-glucosidase (GAA), a glycoprotein and member of glycoside hydrolase family GH31, comprises a trefoil type-P domain, catalytic GH31 domain, distal, proximal, and an N-terminal β-sheet domain. The GAA gene is mapped to human chromosome 17q25.3. It undergoes various proteolytical and N-glycan processing in the late endosomal/lysosomal compartment to become an active form.
