Defects in lysosomal trafficking

Definition:

Defects in lysosomal trafficking are lysosomal storage disorders caused by the genetic defect of non-lysosomal proteins. Niemann-Pick type C leads to lysosomal storage of unesterified cholesterol and gangliosides. Mucolipidosis II/III are diseases of lysosomal protein trafficking. Mucolipidosis IV affects the LDL-receptor mediated endocytosis pathway. Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome and Chediak-Higashi syndrome are disorders of vesicle formation and trafficking.
