Activities of lysosomal enzymes are elevated in the Buff mouse urothelium.

β-Hexosaminidase (β-Hex) and β-glucocerebrosidase (β-GC) activities are expressed as nanomoles of substrate hydrolyzed/mg protein/h at 37°C. (α = 0.05,n = 3). The two-group t-test was used to compare enzyme activities. The β-Hex activity in urothelium of Buff mice was significantly higher (p > 0.05) than that in wild-type mice, while no significant difference (p < 0.05) in the β-GC activity was observed when wild-type and Buff mice are compared. Also enzyme activities in the liver were not significantly different in wild-type and mutant mice.
