title: Canine Gaucher disease--the enzymic defect.
abstract: beta-Glucosidase activity was investigated in tissues from a case of canine Gaucher disease and from a normal dog. In the latter, enzyme activity showed two pH optima at pH 4-0-4-25 and pH 5-0-5-5. In Gaucher disease tissues, negligible activity could be measured at the mouse acidic pH.
