Recombinant Mouse Galc

• Cat.No.: Galc-188M
• Product Overview: Recombinant Mouse Galactocerebrosidase/ GALC Protein,C-Myc & His Tag (Mouse Galactocerebrosidase /GALC ) Tyr 43 - Arg 684 (Accession # P54818) was produced in human 293 cells (HEK293).

Specification

• Description: Galactocerebrosidase (GALC) is also known as GALCERase, Galactocerebroside beta-galactosidase, Galactosylceramidase and Galactosylceramide beta-galactosidase, which belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 59 family. Galactocerebrosidase / GALC hydrolyzes the galactose ester bonds of galactosylceramide, galactosylsphingosine, lactosylceramide, and monogalactosyldiglyceride. GALC with very low activity responsible for the lysosomal catabolism of galactosylceramide, a major lipid in myelin, kidney and epithelial cells of small intestine and colon. Defects in Galc are the cause of the 'twitcher' phenotype.
