Developments to Date. It often has been stated that the basic policy objective of efforts to harmonize the U.S. and European laws is the achievement of consistent and effective protection of health and the environment. However, economic considerations — in particular, the avoidance (or minimization) of non-tariff trade barriers — constitute the principal force behind virtually all of these multilateral efforts. The trade in chemicals and chemical products constitutes a significant part of the overall trade between Western industrialized nations. Specifically, the U.S. enjoys a favorable balance in its chemicals trade, and this is particularly significant given the current recession. Thus, any unnecessary barriers to this trade may impose substantial burdens upon certain segments of the American chemical industry, and may constitute violations of the international General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). 

Acid CDase was first described by Gatt (1963, 1966) in rat brain. The enzyme was found to have a pH optimum of 5, to be independent of MgCl2, CaCl2 and MnCl2, and the molecular mass was estimated to be -150 kDa. Three years latter, the same group reported a 200-fold purification of the enzyme from the 27,000 x g membranes of rat brains (Yavin and Gatt, 1969). Subsequently, acid CDase was partially purified from human placenta 300-fold by Chen et al. (1981). The purified enzyme had a pH optimum similar to that obtained from rat brain, but the molecular mass was estimated to be -47 KDa. 

Recent studies on CDases have revealed the complex nature of these enzymes. In the original report on CDase, Gatt (1966) proposed that a single protein catalyzes the hydrolysis of Cer (CDase activity) and the synthesis of Cer (Cer synthase activity). By comparing the rates of Cer synthesis and the...
