Summary: Enables glucosylceramidase activity. Involved in several processes, including establishment of skin barrier; response to dexamethasone; and response to testosterone. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including endoplasmic reticulum; lysosome; and trans-Golgi network. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Gaucher's disease (multiple); Lewy body dementia; Parkinson's disease (multiple); and Parkinsonism. Orthologous to human GBA1 (glucosylceramidase beta 1).

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.
