Galactosylceramidase
Galactosylceramidase (or galactocerebrosidase) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GALC gene.[1][2] Galactosylceramidase is an enzyme which removes galactose from ceramide derivatives (galactosylceramides).

Galactosylceramidase is a lysosomal protein which hydrolyzes the galactose ester bonds of galactosylceramide, galactosylsphingosine, lactosylceramide, and monogalactosyldiglyceride.[1] Mutations in this gene have been associated with Krabbe disease, also known as galactosylceramide lipidosis.[1]
