Abstract excerpt
Gaucher disease (GD), caused by a defect of beta-glucosidase (beta-Glu), is the most common form of sphingolipidosis. We have previously shown that a carbohydrate mimic N-octyl-beta-valienamine (NOV), an inhibitor of beta-Glu, could increase the protein level and enzyme activity of F213I mutant beta-Glu in cultured GD fibroblasts, suggesting that NOV acted as a pharmacological chaperone to accelerate transport...
