Summary
This gene encodes a protein which was initially identified as a sphingomyelinase based on sequence similarity between bacterial sphingomyelinases and a yeast protein. Subsequent studies showed that its biological function is less likely to be as a sphingomyelinase and instead as a lysophospholipase. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

Comments

Comment Type Description
Biophysicochemical Properties pH dependence: Optimum pH is 6.5-7.5.;
Catalytic Activity Sphingomyelin + H(2)O = N-acylsphingosine + phosphocholine.
Cofactor Name=Mg(2+); Xref=ChEBI
Function Converts sphingomyelin to ceramide. Hydrolyze 1-acyl-2- lyso-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (lyso-PC) and 1-O-alkyl-2-lyso- sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (lyso-platelet-activating factor). The physiological substrate seems to be Lyso-PAF.
Pathway Lipid metabolism; sphingolipid metabolism.
Similarity Belongs to the neutral sphingomyelinase family.
Subcellular Location Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
