Abstract excerpt
Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal storage disease caused by deficient activity of α-galactosidase A and the resultant systemic accumulation of globotrioasylceramide (GL-3) and related glycolipids. α-Galactosidase A gene knockout (Gla KO) mice have no α-galactosidase A activity and progressively accumulate GL-3 in tissues and fluids, similarly to FD patients. The nature and temporal effects of the progressive...
