Abstract excerpt
The genomic sequence of the porcine (Sus scrofa) glucocerebrosidase (GBA) gene (approximately 5.7 kb), encoding glucocerebrosidase (glucosylceramidase; acid beta-glucosidase; EC 3.2.1.45), was determined and compared with human (Homo sapiens) GBA and GBAP (pseudogene). The porcine gene harbours 11 exons and 10 introns, and the genomic organization is identical with human GBA. The exon sequences, coding for signal...
