Alpha galactosidase A activity in Parkinson's disease [PDF]

Neurobiology of Disease, 2018
Glucocerebrosidase (GCase, deficient in Gaucher disease) enzymatic activity measured in dried blood spots of Parkinson's Disease (PD) cases is within healthy range but reduced compared to controls.

Spatial regulation of alpha-galactosidase activity and its influence on raffinose family oligosaccharides during seed maturation and germination in Cicer arietinum [PDF]

Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2020
Alpha-galactosides or Raffinose Family Oligosaccharides (RFOs) are enriched in legumes and are considered as anti-nutritional factors responsible for inducing flatulence.

Enzymatic properties and clinical associations of serum alpha‐galactosidase A in Parkinson's disease [PDF]

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2023
Objective Recent studies have revealed an association between Parkinson's disease (PD) and Fabry disease, a lysosomal storage disorder; however, the underlying mechanisms remain to be elucidated.

Flow Cytometry-Based Assay to Detect Alpha Galactosidase Enzymatic Activity at the Cellular Level [PDF]

Cells
Background: Fabry disease is a progressive, X chromosome-linked lysosomal storage disorder with multiple organ dysfunction. Due to the absence or reduced activity of alpha-galactosidase A (AGAL), glycosphingolipids, primarily globotriaosyl-ceramide (Gb3),

Massive accumulation of globotriaosylceramide in various tissues from a Fabry patient with a high antibody titer against alpha-galactosidase A after 6 years of enzyme replacement therapy [PDF]

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports, 2020
Fabry disease is an X-linked metabolic disorder due to a pathogenic mutation of the GLA gene. The accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) damages multiple organs, including the heart, kidney and nervous system, especially in classical type Fabry ...

Comprehensive and differential long-term characterization of the alpha-galactosidase A deficient mouse model of Fabry disease focusing on the sensory system and pain development

Molecular Pain, 2016
Background Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder due to impaired activity of alpha-galactosidase A with intracellular accumulation of globotriaosylceramide. Associated small fiber pathology leads to characteristic pain in Fabry disease.
