Gene Description | Sphingomyelinases catalyze the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin to produce ceramide and phosphocholine. Ceramide is an important bioactive lipid triggering signal transduction involved in cell proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation. A number of SMases have been described and categorized based on their optimum pH activity, cation dependence, tissue distribution, and subcellular localization. These include a lysosomal acid SMase, a Zn++-dependent secreted acid SMase, a membrane-bound Mg++-dependent neutral SMase, a Mg++-independent neutral SMase, and an alkaline SMase.Acid sphingomyelinase is a lysosomal enzyme responsible for the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin to ceramide and phosphocholine. The ASM gene encodes three proteins, ASM-1, ASM-2, and ASM-3, of which ASM-1 is the only catalytically active enzyme. ASM-1 can exist as a 70 kDa form as well as a 57 kDa proteoytic product. Expression of ASM is induced during monocytic cell differentiation. Defects in the ASM gene are associated with type A and type B Niemann-Pick disease. |
