Abstract excerpt
Acid sphingomyelinase (ASMase) is a key initiator of sphingomyelin/ceramide signal transduction activated by many stress stimuli. Over the past two decades, much progress has been made in defining the clinical relevance of sphingomyelin/ceramide signaling in numerous diseases using ASMase knockout mice. Organs that operate this pathway are numerous and the disease states regulated are diverse, with ceramide...
