Description

Enables galactosylceramidase activity. Predicted to be involved in galactosylceramide catabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within lipid catabolic process and sphingolipid metabolic process. Located in lysosome. Is expressed in melanoblast and nervous system. Used to study melanoma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Krabbe disease. Orthologous to human GALC (galactosylceramidase).
