*[[Sphingomyelinase]] (SMase) or sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase is a hydrolase involved in sphingolipid metabolism. It catalyzes the breakdown of sphingomyelin (SM) to phosphocholine and ceramide<ref>PMID:11001563</ref>.

*[[Acid-beta-glucosidase]] or '''glucosylceramidase''' is a lysozomal enzyme (EC number [http://www.brenda-enzymes.info/php/result_flat.php4?ecno=3.2.1.45 3.2.1.45]), which cleaves glucosylceramide to glucose and ceramide. It catalyzes hydrolysis of the sphingolipid, <scene name='Acid-beta-glucosidase/Cv/3'>glucosylceramide (GlcCer)</scene>, to <scene name='Acid-beta-glucosidase/Cv/2'>glucose and ceramide</scene> at the acidic pH prevailing within the lysosome. <scene name='Acid-beta-glucosidase/Cv/4'>Click here to see animation of this reaction</scene>.
