The
GBA is a glucosylceramidase that catalyzes, within the lysosomal
compartment, the hydrolysis of glucosylceramide/GlcCer into free
ceramide and glucose. Thereby, plays a central role in the degradation
of complex lipids and the turnover of cellular membranes . Through the
production of ceramides, participates to the PKC-activated salvage
pathway of ceramide formation. Also plays a role in cholesterol
metabolism . May either catalyze the glucosylation of cholesterol,
through a transglucosylation reaction that transfers glucose from
glucosylceramide to cholesterol . The short chain saturated C8:0-GlcCer
and the mono-unsaturated C18:0-GlcCer being the most effective glucose
donors for that transglucosylation reaction. Under specific conditions,
may alternatively catalyze the reverse reaction, transferring glucose
from cholesteryl-beta-D-glucoside to ceramide. Finally, may also
hydrolyze cholesteryl-beta-D-glucoside to produce D-glucose and
cholesterol .
