Cerezyme® (imiglucerase)

Overview | Product information | Accredo services | Contact team

In ordinary cells, an enzyme called glucocerebrosidase breaks down specific fat molecules that accumulate within a compartment of the cell. Cerezyme acts like naturally occurring glucocerebrosidase and targets Gaucher cells. Inside the cells, Cerezyme breaks up glucocerebroside into smaller components, glucose and ceramide. These smaller components can then be removed from the cell by natural processes, just as they are in people without Gaucher disease.
