Human Glucosylceramidase/GBA ELISA Kit

Designed for the precise measurement of human Glucosylceramidase (GBA), this Sandwich ELISA Kit from Assay Genie uses a colorimetric detection method and is validated for serum and plasma samples. The kit provides a reliable tool for studies of lipid metabolism and lysosomal storage disorders.

Glucosylceramidase is a lysosomal enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of glucosylceramide into free ceramide and glucose, playing a central role in the degradation of complex lipids and the turnover of cellular membranes. Mutations in the GBA gene are linked to Gaucher disease, a lysosomal storage disorder, and have also been associated with neurodegenerative conditions. Measuring GBA levels in biological samples offers insights into disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets.

The assay is reactive with human samples and is intended for research use only.
