gba

GBA Protein, Mouse, Recombinant (His) is expressed in yeast with N-6xHis tag. The predicted molecular weight is 57.5 kDa and the accession number is P17439.

Mutations in the GBA gene, encoding the lysosomal hydrolase glucocerebrosidase (GCase), are the most common known genetic risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). ASAH1 (acid ceramidase 1) and GBA2 (glucocerebrosidase 2) enzymes that mediate glucosylsphingosine production and metabolism are attractive therapeutic targets for treating mutant GBA-associated PD.

GBA Protein, Mouse, Recombinant (His & SUMO) is expressed in E. coli.

Glucosylceramidase that catalyzes, within the lysosomal compartment, the hydrolysis of glucosylceramide/GlcCer into free ceramide and glucose. Thereby, plays a central role in the degradation of complex lipids and the turnover of cellular membranes. Through the production of ceramides, participates in the PKC-activated salvage pathway of ceramide formation. Also plays a role in cholesterol metabolism. May either catalyze the glucosylation of cholesterol, through a transglucosylation reaction that transfers glucose from glucosylceramide to cholesterol. The short chain saturated C8:0-GlcCer and the mono-unsaturated C18:0-GlcCer being the most effective glucose donors for that transglucosylation reaction. Under specific conditions, may alternatively catalyze the reverse reaction, transferring glucose from cholesteryl-beta-D-glucoside to ceramide. Finally, may also hydrolyze cholesteryl-beta-D-glucoside to produce D-glucose and cholesterol.

Cytosolic beta-glucosidase, also known as Cytosolic beta-glucosidase-like protein 1, GBA3, CBG and CBGL1 is a cytoplasm protein which belongs to theglycosyl hydrolase 1 family and Klotho subfamily. GBA3 / CBGL1 is a glycosidase probably involved in the intestinal absorption and metabolism of dietary flavonoid glycosides. GBA3 / CBGL1 is present in small intestine (at protein level). GBA3 / CBGL1 is expressed in liver, small intestine, colon, spleen and kidney. GBA3 / CBGL1 is down-regulated in renal cell carcinomas and hepatocellular carcinomas. GBA3 / CBGL1 is able to hydrolyze a broad variety of glycosides including phytoestrogens, flavonols, flavones, flavanones and cyanogens. GBA3 / CBGL1 possesses beta-glycosylceramidase activity and may be involved in a nonlysosomal catabolic pathway of glycosylceramide.

GBA2 Protein, Rat, Recombinant (His) is expressed in E. coli expression system with C-6xHis tag. The predicted molecular weight is 42.6 kDa and the accession number is Q5M868.

Acts as a lysosomal receptor for glucosylceramidase (GBA) targeting. LIMPII/SR-B2 Protein, Rat, Recombinant (His & Myc) is expressed in E. coli expression system with N-10xHis and C-Myc tag. The predicted molecular weight is 53.7 kDa and the accession number is P27615.
