Gene Information

human ... GBA(2629)

General description

The GBA1 gene encodes for the lysosomal enzyme β-glucocerebrosidase (GCase). The GBA gene is mapped on the human chromosome at 1q22.

Immunogen

GBA (AAH03356.1, 1 a.a. ~ 536 a.a) full-length human protein.

Biochem/physiol Actions

β-glucocerebrosidase (GCase) facilitates the hydrolysis of glucosylceramide (Glc-Cer) to ceramide and glucose. Mutations in the GBA1 gene are associated with Gaucher′s disease, a lysosomal storage disorder, marked by the accumulation of glucosylceramide in many organs including the brain. The mutations in this gene also lead to dementia with Lewy bodies and acts as a risk factor for Parkinson′s disease. Inadequacy of the GBA1 protein harms α-synuclein tetramers and multimers.

GBA1 mutations, which result in the lysosomal disorder Gaucher disease, are the most common known genetic risk factor for Parkinson disease and Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB). The pathogenesis of this association is not fully understood, but further elucidation of

Sequence variants in glucocerebrosidase (GBA) are a major genetic risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD), and display ethnic-dependent frequencies, for example, variants such as p.N370S and 84insGG are common in Ashkenazi Jewish patients. Notably, there are limited studies on black

Accumulating evidence suggests that α-synuclein (α-syn) occurs physiologically as a helically folded tetramer that resists aggregation. However, the mechanisms underlying the regulation of formation of α-syn tetramers are still mostly unknown. Cellular membrane lipids are thought to play an important

Mutations in the acid β-glucocerebrosidase (GBA1) gene, responsible for the lysosomal storage disorder Gaucher's disease (GD), are the strongest genetic risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD) known to date. Here we generate induced pluripotent stem cells from subjects with GD
