Target Name
GALC
Target Full Name
Galactocerebrosidase
Target Function
Hydrolyzes the galactose ester bonds of glycolipids such as galactosylceramide and galactosylsphingosine. Enzyme with very low activity responsible for the lysosomal catabolism of galactosylceramide, a major lipid in myelin, kidney and epithelial cells of small intestine and colon.
Target Involvement
Leukodystrophy, globoid cell (GLD)
Target Subcellular Location
Lysosome.
Target Protein Families
Glycosyl hydrolase 59 family
Target Tissue Specificity
Detected in urine. Detected in testis, brain and placenta (at protein level). Detected in kidney and liver.
Target Research Area
Cardiovascular
Target Synonyms

Target Background
This gene encodes a lysosomal protein which hydrolyzes the galactose ester bonds of galactosylceramide, galactosylsphingosine, lactosylceramide, and monogalactosyldiglyceride. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Krabbe disease, also known as globoid cell leukodystrophy. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized.
