Abstract excerpt
Gaucher's disease (GD), mainly caused by a defect of acid beta-glucosidase (beta-Glu), is the most common form of sphingolipidosis. We have previously shown that the carbohydrate mimic and inhibitor of beta-Glu, N-octyl-beta-valienamine (NOV), could increase the protein level and enzyme activity of various mutant beta-Glus in cultured GD fibroblasts and in COS cells, suggesting that NOV acts as a pharmacological...
