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.

Experimental and therapeutic medicine. 2019 Jun;17(6)4506-4516.
In the present study, gene expression data of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) were analyzed by using a multi-step Bioinformatics approach to establish a novel prognostic prediction system. Gene expression profiles were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) d

Influenza is an RNA virus encapsulated in a lipid bilayer derived from the host cell plasma membrane. Previous studies showed that influenza infection depends on cellular lipids including the sphingolipids sphingomyelin and sphingosine. Here we examined the role of a third sphingolipid, glucosylcera
