| Entrez Gene Number |
|
| Entrez Gene Summary | The GLB1 gene encodes beta-galactosidase-1 (EC 3.2.1.23), a lysosomal hydrolase that cleaves the terminal beta-galactose from ganglioside substrates and other glycoconjugates (Yoshida et al., 1991 [PubMed 1907800]). Beta-galactosidase also occurs in a complex with neuraminidase (NEU1; MIM 608272) and protective protein/cathepsin A (PPCA; MIM 256540), which is a component of certain cell surface receptors (Hinek, 1996 [PubMed 8922281]). See also galactosylceramidase (GALC; MIM 606890) (EC 3.2.1.46), a genetically distinct beta-galactosidase that is involved in the catabolism of other lipid compounds.[supplied by OMIM] |

| UniProt Summary | FUNCTION: SwissProt: P16279 # This protein has no beta-galactosidase catalytic activity, but plays functional roles in the formation of extracellular elastic fibers (elastogenesis) and in the development of connective tissue. Seems to be identical to the elastin-binding protein (EBP), a major component of the non- integrin cell surface receptor expressed on fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, chondroblasts, leukocytes, and certain cancer cell types. In elastin producing cells, associates with tropoelastin intracellularly and functions as a recycling molecular chaperone which facilitates the secretions of tropoelastin and its assembly into elastic fibers.| P16278 # Cleaves beta-linked terminal galactosyl residues from gangliosides, glycoproteins, and glycosaminoglycans. SIZE: 546 amino acids; 60552 Da SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm, perinuclear region. Note=Localized to the perinuclear area of the cytoplasm but not to lysosomes. DOMAIN: SwissProt: P16279 DISEASE: SwissProt: P16278 # Defects in GLB1 are the cause of GM1-gangliosidosis type I [MIM:230500]; also known as infantile GM1-gangliosidosis. This autosomal recessive disorder is characterized by the accumulation in visceral tissues, and ultimately excessive excretion in the urine, of beta-linked galactose-terminal oligosaccharides. Patients show central nervous system degeneration, and the coarse facial features, hepatosplenomegaly and skeletal dysmorphology reminiscent of Hurler syndrome. The infantile form is rapidly progressive leading to death usually between the first and second year. & Defects in GLB1 are the cause of GM1-gangliosidosis type II [MIM:230600]; also known as late infantile/juvenile type GM1- gangliosidosis. Patients do not display the skeletal changes associated with the infantile form, but they nonetheless excrete elevated amounts of beta-linked galactose-terminal oligosaccharides. Inheritance is autosomal recessive. & Defects in GLB1 are the cause of GM1-gangliosidosis type III [MIM:230650]; also known as adult or chronic GM1- gangliosidosis. Patients show mild skeletal abnormalities, dysarthria, gait disturbance, dystonia and visual impairment. Visceromegaly is absent. Inheritance is autosomal recessive. & Defects in GLB1 are the cause of mucopolysaccharidosis IV B (MPS4B) [MIM:253010]; also known as Morquio syndrome B. MPS4B is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by severe bone deformities without CNS involvement.
