This enzyme breaks down glucocerebroside, the fatty chemical that accumulates in the body of patients with Gaucher disease. (This compensates for the missing enzyme, which is why the therapy is called enzyme replacement.) Patients receive ERT via IV infusion, which usually takes 1 to 2 hours. Patients typically need an ERT infusion every 2 weeks, depending on the individual.
