Gene information for GBA (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2629
Official gene symbolGBA
Full nameglucosidase, beta, acid
Aliases,GBA1,GCB,GLUC,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a lysosomal membrane protein that cleaves the beta-glucosidic linkage of glycosylceramide, an intermediate in glycolipid metabolism. Mutations in this gene cause Gaucher disease, a lysosomal storage disease characterized by an accumulation of glucocerebrosides. A related pseudogene is approximately 12 kb downstream of this gene on chromosome 1. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq]
