Identification of a Novel Acid Sphingomyelinase Activity Associated with Recombinant Human Acid Ceramidase

Biomolecules, 2023
Acid ceramidase (AC) is a lysosomal enzyme required to hydrolyze ceramide to sphingosine by the removal of the fatty acid moiety. An inherited deficiency in this activity results in two disorders, Farber Lipogranulomatosis and spinal muscular atrophy ...

Liposome-targeted recombinant human acid sphingomyelinase: Production, formulation, and in vitro evaluation [PDF]

European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics, 2019
Niemann-Pick disease type B is a hereditary rare condition caused by deficiency of the acid sphingomyelinase (ASM) that is needed for lysosomal hydrolysis of sphingomyelin to ceramide and phosphocholine. This deficiency leads to a massive accumulation of sphingomyelin in cells throughout the body, predominantly in the liver, spleen and lungs. Currently,

Sphingomyelinase D from loxosceles laeta venom induces the expression of MMP7 in human keratinocytes: contribution to dermonecrosis [PDF]

, 2016
Envenomation by Loxosceles spider is characterized by the development of dermonecrosis. In previous studies, we have demonstrated that increased expression/secretion of matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9, induced by Loxosceles intermedia venom Class 2 ...
