Function
Saposins are specific low-molecular mass non-enzymatic glycoproteins that act as activator proteins for lysosomal sphingolipid-degrading enzymes, facilitating the hydrolysis of sphingolipids by extracting lipid substrates from membranes and presenting them to their respective enzymes. They are derived from a common precursor protein, prosaposin, which is proteolytically cleaved to yield four homologous proteins (saposin A, B, C, and D), each with distinct but partially overlapping lipid and enzyme specificities.
