Ceramide glucosyltransferase (or glucosylceramide synthase) is a glucosyltransferase enzyme involved in the production of glucocerebroside.[1]
It is classified under EC 2.4.1.80.
It is inhibited by miglustat and eliglustat, both drugs developed for the treatment of Gaucher disease.[citation needed]
