sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 5

Predicted to enable sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase activity. Predicted to be involved in ceramide biosynthetic process and sphingomyelin catabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within ceramide metabolic process. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and mitochondrial membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 4, neutral membrane (neutral sphingomyelinase-3)

The protein encoded by this gene is a sphingomyelinase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of membrane sphingomyelin to form phosphorylcholine and ceramide. This gene is activated by DNA damage, cellular stress, and tumor necrosis factor, but it is downregulated by wild-type p53. The encoded protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi network. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2017]

sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 1, acid lysosomal

The protein encoded by this gene is a lysosomal acid sphingomyelinase that converts sphingomyelin to ceramide. The encoded protein also has phospholipase C activity. Defects in this gene are a cause of Niemann-Pick disease type A (NPA) and Niemann-Pick disease type B (NPB). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.

sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 3, neutral membrane (neutral sphingomyelinase II)

Enables sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase activity. Involved in sphingomyelin catabolic process. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Biomarker of pulmonary emphysema. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 2, neutral membrane (neutral sphingomyelinase)

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]

sphingomyelin synthase 2

Sphingomyelin, a major component of cell and Golgi membranes, is made by the transfer of phosphocholine from phosphatidylcholine onto ceramide, with diacylglycerol as a side product. The protein encoded by this gene is an enzyme that catalyzes this reaction primarily at the cell membrane. The synthesis is reversible, and this enzyme can catalyze the reaction in either direction. The encoded protein is required for cell growth. Three transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. There is evidence for more variants, but the full-length nature of their transcripts has not been determined.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

sphingomyelin synthase 1

The protein encoded by this gene is predicted to be a five-pass transmembrane protein. This gene may be predominately expressed in brain. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase, acid-like 3B

Enables phosphoric diester hydrolase activity. Predicted to be involved in membrane lipid catabolic process; negative regulation of inflammatory response; and negative regulation of toll-like receptor signaling pathway. Located in extracellular exosome. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase, acid-like 3A

Enables phosphoric diester hydrolase activity and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of cGAS/STING signaling pathway and nucleoside triphosphate catabolic process. Located in extracellular exosome. Is active in extracellular space. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]
