| Name | glucosylceramidase beta 1 |
| Description | This gene encodes a lysosomal membrane protein that cleaves the beta-glucosidic linkage of glycosylceramide, an intermediate in glycolipid metabolism. Mutations in this gene cause Gaucher disease, a lysosomal storage disease characterized by an accumulation of glucocerebrosides. A related pseudogene is approximately 12 kb downstream of this gene on chromosome 1. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010] |

{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nGBA1 encodes the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase, which is responsible for catalyzing the hydrolysis of the glycolipid glucocerebroside into ceramide and glucose, a reaction central to cellular lipid metabolism and lysosomal homeostasis. Structural and biochemical analyses of GBA1—and the myriad mutations affecting its folding, trafficking, and catalytic efficiency—have demonstrated how loss‐of‐function or misfolding leads to substrate accumulation in Gaucher disease, where clinical presentations vary widely. Such investigations have established the fundamental role of GBA1 in maintaining lysosomal function and underscored how its dysfunction can precipitate multisystemic disease manifestations."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "7"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nBeyond its essential role in glycosphingolipid catabolism, GBA1 mutations have emerged as the most common genetic risk factor for Parkinson’s disease (PD) and related Lewy body disorders.

Moreover, evidence suggests a bidirectional relationship whereby α‐synuclein itself can interfere with glucocerebrosidase trafficking and activity, thereby establishing a feed‐forward loop that exacerbates cellular stress and neurodegeneration.
