title: [Beta-glucosidases. Molecular bases of Gaucher's disease].
abstract: The first part of this review deals the biochemical data concerning human and mammalian beta-glucosidases. Glucosylceramide-beta-glucosidase and non-specific beta-glucosidase are characterized following their physical, functional, structural and genetical properties. The second part deals with the biochemical and pathophysiological data concerning the Gaucher disease.
