Abstract excerpt
Krabbe disease, one of the autosomal-recessive lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs), is caused by a deficiency of galactocerebrosidase (GALC) activity, resulting in the intracellular accumulation of psychosine, which is cytotoxic for neuronal cells. Genetically pathogenic mutations result in conformational changes in GALC and disrupt the lysosmal trafficking of cargos, which subsequently accumulate in the...
