In enzymology, a glucosylceramidase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction :D-glucosyl-N-acylsphingosine + H2O D-glucose + N-acylsphingosine Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are D-glucosyl-N-acylsphingosine and H2O, whereas its two products are D-glucose and N-acylsphingosine. This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those glycosidases that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is D-glucosyl-N-acylsphingosine glucohydrolase. Other names in common use include: * psychosine hydrolase, * glucosphingosine glucosylhydrolase, * GlcCer-beta-glucosidase, * beta-D-glucocerebrosidase, * glucosylcerebrosidase, * beta-glucosylceramidase, * ceramide glucosidase, * glucocerebrosidase, * glucosylsphingosine beta-glucosidase, * and glucosylsphingosine beta-D-glucosidase. This enzyme participates in sphingolipid metabolism and degradation of glycan structures. ==Human proteins containing this domain== *GBA belongs to Glycoside hydrolase family 30 , GBA2 belongs to Glycoside hydrolase family 116. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Glucosylceramidase」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
