ASM Variants in the Spotlight: A Structure-Based Atlas for Unraveling Pathogenic Mechanisms in Lysosomal Acid Sphingomyelinase
2023-11-24
Abstract excerpt
Lysosomal acid sphingomyelinase (ASM), a critical enzyme in lipid metabolism encoded by the SMPD1 gene, plays a crucial role in sphingomyelin hydrolysis in lysosomes. ASM deficiency leads to acid sphingomyelinase deficiency, a rare genetic disorder with diverse clinical manifestations, and the protein can be found mutated in other diseases. We employed a structure-based framework to comprehensively understand the...
