Enzyme Kinetics and Inhibition Parameters of Human Leukocyte Glucosylceramidase
2020-02-24
Abstract excerpt
Glucosylceramidase (GCase) is a lysosomal enzyme that catalyzes the cleavage of β-glucosidic linkage of glucocerebroside (GC) into glucose and ceramide; thereby, plays an essential function in the degradation of complex lipids and the turnover of cellular membranes. The growing list of 460 mutations in the gene coding for it—glucosylceramidase beta acid 1 ( GBA1 )—is reported to abolish its catalytic activity and...
