In enzymology a glycosylceramidase (EC 3.2.1.62) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionglycosyl-N-acylsphingosine + H2O N-acylsphingosine + a sugarThus the two substrates of this enzyme are glycosyl-N-acylsphingosine and H2O whereas its two products are N-acylsphingosine and sugar.This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases specifically those glycosidases that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds.
