Acid Sphingomyelinase

2013
The enzyme acid sphingomyelinase catalyzes the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin to ceramide. The importance of the enzyme for cell functions was first recognized in Niemann-Pick disease type A and B, the genetic disorders with a massive accumulation of sphingomyelin in many organs. Studies in the last years demonstrated that the enzyme also has an important

Sphingomyelinases in cell regulation

Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 1997
Sphingomyelin hydrolysis and ceramide generation have emerged as key events in cellular regulation. Sphingomyelinases (SMases) catalyse the breakdown of sphingomyelin to form ceramide and phosphorylcholine. Ceramide formed through activation of SMases may function as a second messenger in mediating cell growth, differentiation, stress responses, and ...

Secretory sphingomyelinase in health and disease

open access: yesBiological Chemistry, 2015
AbstractAcid sphingomyelinase (ASM), a key enzyme in sphingolipid metabolism, hydrolyzes sphingomyelin to ceramide and phosphorylcholine. In mammals, the expression of a single gene,SMPD1,results in two forms of the enzyme that differ in several characteristics.
