1. Two forms of beta-hexosaminidase, similar to hexosaminidase A and hexosaminidase C, were separated by DEAE-cellulose chromatography in chick embryo skin fibroblasts in vitro. 2. beta-Hexosaminidase specific activity increases during development in cultured chick embryo skin fibroblasts in vitro. 3. Concanavalin-A treatment determines the increase of the neutral form, hexosaminidase C, during development. 4. Concanavalin-A reduces the specific activity of beta-hexosaminidase during development.

D002642 Chick Embryo The developmental entity of a fertilized chicken egg (ZYGOTE). The developmental process begins about 24 h before the egg is laid at the BLASTODISC, a small whitish spot on the surface of the EGG YOLK. After 21 days of incubation, the embryo is fully developed before hatching. Embryo, Chick,Chick Embryos,Embryos, Chick

D003208 Concanavalin A A MANNOSE/GLUCOSE binding lectin isolated from the jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis). It is a potent mitogen used to stimulate cell proliferation in lymphocytes, primarily T-lymphocyte, cultures.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001619 beta-N-Acetylhexosaminidases A hexosaminidase specific for non-reducing N-acetyl-D-hexosamine residues in N-acetyl-beta-D-hexosaminides. It acts on GLUCOSIDES; GALACTOSIDES; and several OLIGOSACCHARIDES. Two specific mammalian isoenzymes of beta-N-acetylhexoaminidase are referred to as HEXOSAMINIDASE A and HEXOSAMINIDASE B. Deficiency of the type A isoenzyme causes TAY-SACHS DISEASE, while deficiency of both A and B isozymes causes SANDHOFF DISEASE. The enzyme has also been used as a tumor marker to distinguish between malignant and benign disease. beta-N-Acetylhexosaminidase,N-Acetyl-beta-D-hexosaminidase,beta-Hexosaminidase,beta-N-Acetyl-D-hexosaminidase,beta-N-Acetyl-hexosaminidase,N Acetyl beta D hexosaminidase,beta Hexosaminidase,beta N Acetyl D hexosaminidase,beta N Acetyl hexosaminidase,beta N Acetylhexosaminidase,beta N Acetylhexosaminidases
D054818 Hexosaminidase A A mammalian beta-hexosaminidase isoform that is a heteromeric protein comprized of both hexosaminidase alpha and hexosaminidase beta subunits. Deficiency of hexosaminidase A due to mutations in the gene encoding the hexosaminidase alpha subunit is a case of TAY-SACHS DISEASE. Deficiency of hexosaminidase A and HEXOSAMINIDASE B due to mutations in the gene encoding the hexosaminidase beta subunit is a case of SANDHOFF DISEASE.
