| Full name | | sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 2, neutral |
|
| Aliases | | AW108287,nSMase,nSMase1 |
|
| Gene summary | | This gene encodes a protein with similarity to the human nSMase1 protein. In humans, the nSMase1 protein 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] |
