Inclusion-cell (I-cell) disease also referred to as mucolipidosis II (ML II) is part of the lysosomal storage disease family and results from a defective phosphotransferase (an enzyme of the Golgi apparatus). This enzyme transfers phosphate to mannose residues on specific proteins and serves as a marker for them to be targeted to lysosomes within the cell.
