Flashcard 622: What differentiates **I-cell disease** from most other **lysosomal storage diseases**?\n_____
Answer: I-cell has a mixed accumulation of substrates forming inclusion bodies
Extra: I-cell disease (mucolipidosis II) is caused by a deficiency in N-acetylglucosaminyl-1-phosphotransferase, which is required to tag lysosomal enzymes with mannose-6-phosphate. Without this signal, enzymes are secreted instead of being sent to lysosomes. As a result, lysosomes lack multiple enzymes and accumulate a variety of undigested materials, seen as inclusion bodies.
