Abstract excerpt
Gaucher disease is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficient glucocerebrosidase activity. We have previously shown that the cellular activity of the most common Gaucher disease-associated glucocerebrosidase variant, N370S, is increased when patient-derived cells are cultured with the chemical chaperone N-nonyl-deoxynojirimycin. Chemical chaperones stabilize proteins against misfolding, enabling their...
