Gene information for Sgms2 (Mus musculus)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID74442
Official gene symbolSgms2
Full namesphingomyelin synthase 2
Aliases4933405A16Rik,5133401H06Rik,AI854299
Gene summarySphingomyelin, 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. [provided by RefSeq]
