Novel Tumor Necrosis Factor-responsive Mammalian Neutral Sphingomyelinase-3 Is a C-tail-anchored Protein
4 Mar 2006
Abstract excerpt
Two genes encoding neutral sphingomyelinases-1 and -2 (sphingomyelin phosphodiesterases-2 and -3) have been recently identified that hydrolyze sphingomyelin to phosphorylcholine and ceramide. Data bank searches using a peptide sequence derived from a previously purified bovine neutral sphingomyelinase (nSMase) allowed us to identify a cDNA encoding a novel human sphingomyelinase, nSMase3, that shows only a little...
