Metabolomic, lipidomic, and N-glycomic analyses of a human cell model of Krabbe disease reveal treatable deficits in glycosylation and serine-ceramide metabolism
Krabbe disease is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal disease caused by deficiency of galactocerebrosidase (GALC), leading to accumulation of galactosylceramide and formation of the toxic metabolite galactosylsphingosine (psychosine). While psychosine accumulation is well-established as a primary pathogenic mechanism, the broader metabolic consequences of GALC deficiency remain incompletely…
