LITERATURE
drug development
the enzyme is an attractive target for drug development both in relation to lysosomal storage disorders (in particular Gaucher disease) and type2 diabetes
medicine
molecular biology
-
glucosylceramide is essential for MsDef1-mediated growth inhibition of Fusarium graminearum, but not for its pathogenicity
pharmacology
-
enzyme might be an attractive target for malarial chemotherapy
