    Summary
    Predicted to enable galactosylceramidase activity. Predicted to be involved in galactosylceramide catabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within myelination. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in lysosome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Krabbe disease. Orthologous to human GALC (galactosylceramidase).

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
