Description
N-Acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) is a lysosomal enzyme that plays a crucial role in the breakdown of complex carbohydrates, particularly by cleaving N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosamine residues from glycoproteins and glycolipids. It is widely used as a biomarker for renal and lysosomal storage disorders, as elevated levels in urine or blood can indicate kidney damage or dysfunction. NAG is also involved in various biological processes, including cell signaling and pathogen defense, making it an important enzyme in both health and disease contexts.
