Glucosylceramidase, encoded by the GBA gene, serves as a critical lysosomal enzyme responsible for hydrolyzing glucosylceramide into glucose and ceramide. This enzymatic activity plays a fundamental role in sphingolipid metabolism, and mutations in GBA are well-established as the most common genetic risk factor for Parkinson's disease while also causing Gaucher disease when enzyme function is severely compromised. Beyond neurodegeneration research, GBA has emerged as a target of interest in cancer biology and metabolic signaling studies, making reliable detection tools essential for investigators across multiple disciplines.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 4H4, offers the reproducibility advantages that come with sequence-defined production. Because the antibody sequence remains fixed, you can expect consistent performance across different lots, eliminating a common source of experimental variability that can complicate long-term studies or multi-site collaborations. The rabbit host and monoclonal nature provide both high specificity and robust signal characteristics.
Validation by western blot demonstrates reliable detection of human GBA across diverse cell line backgrounds, including HeLa, MCF-7, 293T, and U87 whole cell lysates. The observed band at 60 kDa aligns with one of the predicted molecular weights, reflecting the mature processed form of this glycoprotein. GBA undergoes significant post-translational modification and proteolytic processing, which accounts for the multiple predicted sizes. The antibody performs well at dilutions ranging from 1:500 to 1:5000, giving you flexibility to optimize signal intensity for your specific experimental conditions.
Whether you are investigating lysosomal dysfunction in neurodegenerative disease models, exploring metabolic alterations in cancer cells, or studying sphingolipid signaling pathways, this antibody provides a dependable tool for your western blot and ELISA workflows.
