The purification of dog liver acid .beta.-galactosidase is described. The dog enzyme migrated as a single major band on polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate, with a MW of 60,000. Antiserum raised against purified human liver acid .beta.-galactosidase cross-reacted with .beta.-galactosidase from the dog liver, but not with those from cat liver or Escherichia coli. Tryptic peptide maps of the dog and human acid .beta.-galactosidases indicate that 21 of the 24 peptides observed were homologous; a similar result was obtained after chymotryptic peptide mapping. Dog and human acid .beta.-galactosidases are structurally similar, and canine GM1 gangliosidosis (acid .beta.-galactosidase deficiency) is an excellent model for the same disease in man.
