Gene information for GBA3 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID57733
Official gene symbolGBA3
Full nameglucosidase, beta, acid 3 (cytosolic)
Aliases,CBGL1,GLUC,KLrP,MGC104276,MGC126878,
Gene summaryGBA3, or cytosolic beta-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.21), is a predominantly liver enzyme that efficiently hydrolyzes beta-D-glucoside and beta-D-galactoside, but not any known physiologic beta-glycoside, suggesting that it may be involved in detoxification of plant glycosides (de Graaf et al., 2001 [PubMed 11389701]). GBA3 also has significant neutral glycosylceramidase activity (EC 3.2.1.62), suggesting that it may be involved in a nonlysosomal catabolic pathway of glucosylceramide metabolism (Hayashi et al., 2007 [PubMed 17595169]).[supplied by OMIM]
