In biochemistry|lang=en terms the difference between hydrolysis and glucocerebrosidase
is that hydrolysis is (biochemistry) the degradation of certain biopolymers (proteins, complex sugars) by the chemical process that results in smaller polymers or monomers (such as amino acids or monosaccharides) while glucocerebrosidase is (biochemistry) an enzyme that is needed to cleave, by hydrolysis, the beta-glucosidic linkage of glucocerebroside, an intermediate in glycolipid metabolism, and mutations in which cause gaucher's disease.
As nouns the difference between hydrolysis and glucocerebrosidase
is that hydrolysis is (chemistry) a chemical process of decomposition involving the splitting of a bond and the addition of the hydrogen cation and the hydroxide anion of water while glucocerebrosidase is (biochemistry) an enzyme that is needed to cleave, by hydrolysis, the beta-glucosidic linkage of glucocerebroside, an intermediate in glycolipid metabolism, and mutations in which cause gaucher's disease.
