    Elevation of lung surfactant phosphatidylcholine in mouse models of Sandhoff and of Niemann–Pick A disease

    Summary: Sandhoff disease is caused by the defective activity of the lysosomal enzyme β-hexosaminidase, resulting in accumulation of the glycolipids, GA2 and GM2. Niemann–Pick A/B disease is caused by the defecti...
