MeSH Heading: Ceramidases
Tree Number(s): D08.811.277.087.250
Unique ID: D055572
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D055572
Scope Note: Amidohydrolases that are specific for the cleavage of the N-acyl linkage of CERAMIDES. Ceramidases are classified as acidic, neutral or basic according to the optimal pH with which they function.
Entry Term(s): Acylsphingosine Deacylase; Ceramidase; N-Acylsphingosine Amidohydrolase
Previous Indexing: Amidohydrolases (1970-2008); Galactosylgalactosylglucosylceramidase (1982-2008)
