I-cell disease

• almost all of the hydrolytic enzymes are missing from the lysosomes of many cell types.

• mis-sorting has been traced to a defective or missing GlcNAc phosphotransferase.

M6P residues are generated in the cis-Golgi by two Golgi-resident enzymes. 

1. N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) phosphotransferase
2. Phosphodiesterase
