Summary
Predicted to enable beta-galactosidase activity. Predicted to be involved in galactose catabolic process. Predicted to be active in vacuole. Is expressed in head mesodermal cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in GM1 gangliosidosis (multiple) and mucopolysaccharidosis IV (multiple). Orthologous to several human genes including GLB1L (galactosidase beta 1 like).
