Modelling saposin deficiency in Drosophila : progressive neurodegeneration, storage and physiological decline
Saposin deficiency is a lysosomal storage disorder (LSD) characterised by the lysosomal accumulation of sphingolipids. The disorder is caused by mutations in the prosaposin gene, which encodes 4 activator proteins: saposins A - D. Mutations affecting individual saposins lead to different LSDs. There...
