Increased expression of glucosylceramide synthase (GCS) contributes to drug resistance and the progression of various cancers; the expression profiles of GCS (UGCG) and the genes for glucocerebrosidases 1, 2, and 3 (GBA1, GBA2, and GBA3) were therefore studied in CCA. This evidence concerns the gene GBA2 and cholangiocarcinoma.
