About GBA2

Cytogenetic location: 9p13.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 9:35,736,866-35,749,228 (from NCBI)

This gene has 8 transcripts (splice variants), 198 orthologues and is associated with 4 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in small intestine (RPKM 30.3), duodenum (RPKM 27.9) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a microsomal beta-glucosidase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of bile acid 3-O-glucosides as endogenous compounds. Studies to determine subcellular localization of this protein in the liver indicated that the Enzyme was mainly enriched in the microsomal fraction where it appeared to be confined to the endoplasmic reticulum. This putative transmembrane protein is thought to play a role in carbohydrate transport and metabolism. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
