Glucocerebrosidase (in German-speaking countries also glucocerebrosidase, chemically also glucosylceramidase ) is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of the β- glucosidic bond of glucocerebroside ( D- glucosyl- N- acylsphingosine), an intermediate stage of the glycolipid metabolism. Glucosylceramidase is a lysosomal protein.

Mutations in the corresponding gene are the cause of Gaucher's disease , a lysosomal storage disease . The active ingredients derived from the enzyme alglucerase , velaglucerase and imiglucerase be administered as a substitute for this deficiency disease.

In the meantime, an increased risk of heterozygous carriers of glucocerebrosidase mutations for Parkinson's disease has also been observed. In particular, the disease occurs earlier than in the normal population. The accumulation of α-synuclein in the lysosomes that can be observed in Parkinson's disease is directly attributable to a glucosylceramidase deficiency.

Catalyzed reaction

Beta-D-glucosylceramide+ H 2 O ⇒ Ceramide+ glucose

Glucose is split off from β- D -glucosylceramide.
