GLA - galactosidase alpha Gene
Also Known as GALA
Species: Homo sapiens
About GLA
This gene has 16 transcripts (splice variants), 197 orthologues, 1 paralogue and is associated with 4 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in bone marrow (RPKM 16.8), placenta (RPKM 14.4) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a homodimeric glycoprotein that hydrolyses the terminal alpha-galactosyl moieties from glycolipids and glycoproteins. This enzyme predominantly hydrolyzes ceramide trihexoside, and it can catalyze the hydrolysis of melibiose into galactose and glucose. A variety of mutations in this gene affect the synthesis, processing, and stability of this enzyme, which causes Fabry disease, a rare lysosomal storage disorder that results from a failure to catabolize alpha-D-galactosyl glycolipid moieties.
