Description

GLB1L3 (Galactosidase Beta 1 Like 3) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 11q25. It encodes a member of the glycosyl hydrolase 35 family, which includes beta-galactosidases involved in the hydrolysis of terminal beta-galactosyl residues from glycoproteins, glycolipids, and glycosaminoglycans. The protein is predicted to localize to lysosomes and may participate in glycosphingolipid catabolism. Expression data suggest broad tissue distribution with highest levels in testis and kidney.

Protein Summary

The GLB1L3 protein (UniProt Q8N5I2) is a 648-amino acid polypeptide with a predicted molecular mass of ~73 kDa. It contains a glycosyl hydrolase 35 domain and is predicted to function as a lysosomal beta-galactosidase. Structural homology suggests it may cleave terminal beta-galactose residues from glycoconjugates. No crystal structure is currently available.
