Galactosylceramidase (or galactocerebrosidase), EC 3.2.1.46, is an enzyme that removes galactose from ceramide derivatives ( galactosylceramides) by catalysing the hydrolysis of galactose ester bonds of galactosylceramide, galactosylsphingosine, lactosylceramide, and monogalactosyldiglyceride. [1]

It is a lysosomal protein, encoded in humans by the GALC gene. [1] [2] Mutations in this gene have been associated with Krabbe disease, also known as galactosylceramide lipidosis. [1]
