Biochem Physiol Actions: Glucosylsphingosine is a cytotoxic compound. Accumulation of glucosylsphingosine in brain and other tissues occurs in patients with Gaucher disease, which is an inherited deficiency of lysosomal glucocerebrosidase, which converts glucosylsphingosine to glucose and sphingosine.
