ceramidase /cer·am·i·dase/ (ser-am´ĭ-dās) an enzyme occurring in most mammalian tissue that catalyzes the reversible acylation-deacylation of ceramides.
ceramidase
ceramidase [sĕ-ram´ĭ-dās]
cer·am·i·dase (s -r m  -d s , -dz)n. An enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of ceramides into sphingosine and fatty acids. |
ceramidase
[səram′idās]
an enzyme of the hydrolase class that catalyzes the cleavage of a ceramide to form sphingosine and a fatty acid anion, a step in the degradation of sphingolipids. See also Farber's disease.
ceramidase [sĕ-ram´ĭ-dās]
an enzyme occurring in most mammalian tissue that catalyzes the reversible acylation (incorporation of an acid radical) and deacylation (loss of an acid radical) in ceramides.
