Properties of cerebroside galactosidase [PDF]
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Lipids and Lipid Metabolism, 1968 SUMMARY Rat brain cerebrosidase was shown by centrifugal fractionation to be a lysosomal enzyme. The pH optimum was found to be 4.5. Taurocholate greatly stimulated its action. The addition of palmitic acid had little effect on the enzyme activity, but ceramide, sphingosine, and ceramide lactoside inhibited.
