ER-Golgi transport Flashcards
Alpha-1 Antirypsin (A1AT) Def
A1AT def. inherited. most common cause of emphysema in adults, liver disease in children.
A1AT inhibits elastase, which prevents lung damage. excess elastase damages lungs. shortness of breath, gastro bleeding d/t severe liver damage
immunizations for flu/pneumonia, prevent for lung infections. no smoking. avoid pollution.
IV A1AT replacement, bronchodilators, liver transplant
Inclusion Cell (I-Cell) Disease
golgi mistargetting. M6P LYSOSOME target signal missing. LSD (Lysosomal Storage Disease). def GluNAc-1-phosphotransferase, which makes M6P lysosomal target signal (missing)
craniofacial abnormalities. psychomotor retardation. UNLIKE DOWNs, regression of psychomotor dev.
Mucolipidosis. dense inclusion bodies
I-cell and pseudo-Hurler global lysosomal mistargetting (unlike most LSDs, single lysosomal mistargetting–asi Tay Sachs, Gaucher’s)
no treatment
pseudo-Hurler polydystrophy
same as I-Cell, but less severe. resembles Hurler symptoms. inclusion bodies
lack of M6P target–>global lysosomal mistargetting
no treatment
HurLer
L-Iduronidase def
Gaucher
glucocereBROsidase def
Niemann-Pick
sphingomyelinase def
Tay Sachs
Hexoaminidase def.
Krabbe
GALACTOcerebrosidase def. globoid leukodystrophy
Hunter
Idonurate def

Fabry
ceramide buildup. galacto def. X linked
