Summary: Enables glucosylceramidase activity; glucosyltransferase activity; and steryl-beta-glucosidase activity. Involved in several processes, including glucosylceramide catabolic process; lipid glycosylation; and regulation of protein polymerization. Located in Golgi membrane; cytosol; and endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; epidermis; liver; and neural retina.

In heterozygous GBA1 mutant mice, there was also significantly reduced GBA2 GCase enzyme activity specifically within the hippocampus. Such reductions in GBA2 GCase enzyme could contribute to the pathological and behavioural effects seen.

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.
