The glucosylceramide synthase inhibitor Yargesa exerts its effects through the substrate reduction therapy process.
This treatment method lessens the accumulation of harmful glycosphingolipids, thereby reducing symptoms.
Gaucher disease is a rare genetic disorder characterised by a deficiency in the glucocerebrosidase enzyme, which leads to the build-up of a lipid known as glucosylceramide.
