Abstract excerpt
Glucocerebrosidase (GCase), encoded by the GBA1 gene, is one of the lysosomal enzymes responsible for hydrolyzing the glycosphingolipids. Deficiency in GCase activity (in patients with two defective alleles of GBA1) leads to glucosylceramide storage in lysosomes which in turn results in the development of the Gaucher diseases, a lysosomal storage disorder, while a heterozygous state may be correlated with the...
