HEXA, also known as beta-hexosaminidase subunit alpha preproprotein, is an enzyme, located on the 15th chromosome. Hexosaminidase A and the cofactor GM2 activator protein catalyze the degradation of the GM2 gangliosides and other molecules containing terminal N-acetyl hexosamines. Hexosaminidase A is a heterodimer composed of an alpha subunit and a beta subunit. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa23-529 from human HEXA, fused to His-tag at C- terminal expressed in insect cell.
