General annotation (Comments)

Function

Hydrolyzes the galactose ester bonds of galactosylceramide, galactosylsphingosine, lactosylceramide, and monogalactosyldiglyceride. Enzyme with very low activity responsible for the lysosomal catabolism of galactosylceramide, a major lipid in myelin, kidney and epithelial cells of small intestine and colon By similarity.

Catalytic activity

D-galactosyl-N-acylsphingosine + H2O = D-galactose + N-acylsphingosine.

Subcellular location

Lysosome By similarity.

Involvement in disease

Defects in Galc are the cause of the 'twitcher' phenotype; an autosomal recessive leukodystrophy similar to the human disease (Krabbe disease). This deficiency results in the insufficient catabolism of several galactolipids that are important in the production of normal myelin.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 59 family.

Caution

It is uncertain whether Met-1 or Met-17 is the initiator.

Sequence caution

The sequence AAB71823.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation.

The sequence AAH86671.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation.

The sequence BAA07560.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation.
