Beta Galactosidase Antibody

Beta-galactosidase: An essential enzyme


Overview

Beta-galactosidase, also known as beta-Gal or GLB1, is an essential enzyme that hydrolyzes beta-galactosides into monosaccharides. It cleaves beta-linked terminal galactosyl residues from gangliosides, glycoproteins, and glycosaminoglycans.

GLB1 (Beta-galactosidase) is also named as ELNR1, Lactase. It cleaves beta-linked terminal galactosyl residues from gangliosides, glycoproteins, and glycosaminoglycans. This protein is identical to the elastin-binding protein (EBP), a major component of the nonintegrin cell surface receptor complex expressed in fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, chondroblasts, leukocytes, and certain cancer cell types. Defects in GLB1 are the cause of GM1-gangliosidosis type 1 (GM1G1), GM1-gangliosidosis type 2 (GM1G2), GM1-gangliosidosis type 3 (GM1G3) and mucopolysaccharidosis type 4B (MPS4B).
