Contents

Function

Saposin (Sap) is a small protein which functions as activator of lipid-degrading enzymes. They act by isolating the lipid substrate from the membrane. Sap is synthesized as a precursor – prosaposin – which contain 4 SapB active domains and 2 SapA domains which are cleaved off[1].

  • Saposin A and C stimulate hydrolysis of methylumbelliferyl β-galactoside by β-glucosylceramidase and of galactocerebrocide by β-galactosylceramidase[2]. For more details see Molecular Playground/Saposin C.
  • Saposin B facilitates lipid binding to CD1d[3].
  • Saposin D stimulates acid ceramidase activity[4].

Disease

Mutations in saposin B are autosomal recessive trait resulting in clinical metachromatic leukodystrophy[5]. Mutations in saposin D cause urinary system defects[6].
