Glb1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables beta-galactosidase activity and galactoside binding activity. Involved in galactose catabolic process; response to Thyroglobulin triiodothyronine; and response to cortisone. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus and extracellular space. Predicted to be active in lysosome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in GM1 gangliosidosis (multiple) and mucopolysaccharidosis IV (multiple). Orthologous to human GLB1 (galactosidase beta 1).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Glb1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
