Gene information for GLB1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2720
Official gene symbolGLB1
Full namegalactosidase, beta 1
Aliases,EBP,ELNR1,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes beta-galactosidase-1, a lysosomal enzyme that hydrolyzes the terminal beta-galactose from ganglioside substrates and other glycoconjugates. Defects in this gene are the cause of GM1-gangliosidosis and Morquio B syndrome. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
