Neutral sphingomyelinases and nSMase2: Bridging the gaps [PDF]

open access: yesBiochimica Et Biophysica Acta - Biomembranes, 2006
There is strong evidence indicating a role for ceramide as a second messenger in processes such as apoptosis, cell growth and differentiation, and cellular responses to stress. Ceramide formation from the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin is considered to be a

Suppression of tau propagation using an inhibitor that targets the DK-switch of nSMase2 [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2018
Targeting of molecular pathways involved in the cell-to-cell propagation of pathological tau species is a novel approach for development of disease-modifying therapies that could block tau pathology and attenuate cognitive decline in patients with ...

Structure of human nSMase2 reveals an interdomain allosteric activation mechanism for ceramide generation [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2017
Significance Ceramide is a bioactive lipid involved in numerous cellular functions and disease states that are critically dependent on its site of generation.

Evidence for coordination of lysosomal (ASMase) and plasma membrane (NSMase2) forms of sphingomyelinase from mutant mice [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 2012
NSMase2 is associated to the plasma membrane, whereas ASMase is predominantly lysosomal; both hydrolyze sphingomyelin (SM) to ceramide and phosphocholine.
