Novel beta-glucocerebrosidase chaperone compounds identified from cell-based screening reduce pathologically accumulated glucosylsphingosine in iPS-derived neuronal cells

The beta-glucocerebrosidase (GBA1) gene encodes the lysosomal beta-glucocerebrosidase (GCase) that metabolizes the lipids glucosylceramide (GlcCer) and glucosylsphingosine (GlcSph). Biallelic loss-of-function mutations in GBA1 such as L444P cause Gaucher disease (GD), which is the most prevalent lys...
