MeSH Heading: Glucosylceramides
Tree Number(s): D02.065.313.250.490; D09.400.410.420.525.200.250.490; D10.390.470.675.200.250.490; D10.570.877.360.612.200.250.490
Unique ID: D005963
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D005963
Scope Note: Cerebrosides which contain as their polar head group a glucose moiety bound in glycosidic linkage to the hydroxyl group of ceramides. Their accumulation in tissue, due to a defect in beta-glucosidase, is the cause of Gaucher's disease.
