Gaucher disease mouse models: point mutations at the acid β-glucosidase locus combined with low-level prosaposin expression lead to disease variants

Gaucher disease is a common lysosomal storage disease caused by a defect of acid β-glucosidase (GCase). The optimal in vitro hydrolase activity of GCase requires saposin C, an activator protein that derives from a precursor, prosaposin. To develop additional models of Gaucher disease and to test in...
