STAINING SUMMARY

CAB022196

GENE INFORMATION
Gene name	GALC
Synonyms
Description	Galactosylceramidase (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary	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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
