Comment typeDescription
Alternative ProductsEvent=Alternative splicing; Named isoforms=3; Name=1; IsoId=Q9HCG7-1; Sequence=Displayed; Name=2; IsoId=Q9HCG7-2; Sequence=VSP_024384; Note=No experimental confirmation available.; Name=3; IsoId=Q9HCG7-3; Sequence=VSP_024383; Note=No experimental confirmation available.;
Biophysicochemical PropertiesKinetic parameters: KM=1.7 uM for 3-beta-D-glucosido-lithocholic ; KM=6.2 uM for 3-beta-D-glucosido-chenodeoxycholic ; KM=210 uM for beta-D-glucoside ;
Catalytic ActivityD-glucosyl-N-acylsphingosine + H(2)O = D- glucose + N-acylsphingosine.
DiseaseSpastic paraplegia 46, autosomal recessive (SPG46) [MIM
Enzyme RegulationEnzymatic activity is dependent on membrane association and requires the presence of lipids.
FunctionNon-lysosomal glucosylceramidase that catalyzes the conversion of glucosylceramide (GlcCer) to free glucose and ceramide. Involved in sphingomyelin generation and prevention of glycolipid accumulation. May also catalyze the hydrolysis of bile acid 3-O-glucosides, however, the relevance of such activity is unclear in vivo. Plays a role in central nevous system development. Required for proper formation of motor neuron axons.
Sequence CautionSequence=AAG44660.1; Type=Frameshift; Positions=649, 691; Evidence= ; Sequence=BAB13431.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Evidence= ;
SimilarityBelongs to the non-lysosomal glucosylceramidase family.
Subcellular LocationEndoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO
Tissue SpecificityWidely expressed. Highly expressed in brain, heart, skeletal muscle, kidney and placenta and expressed at lower level in liver.
