Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Globoid Cell Leukodystrophy (GLD, or Krabbe disease) is a rare lysosomal storage disease caused by inherited deficiency of β-galactocerebrosidase (GALC). The build-up of galactosylsphingosine (psychosine) and other undegraded galactosylsphingolipids in the nervous system causes severe demyelination and neurodegeneration. The molecular mechanisms of GLD are poorly elucidated in neural cells and wh...
