Pathogenic variants of sphingomyelin synthase SMS2 disrupt lipid landscapes in the secretory pathway
2022-04-03
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Sphingomyelin is a dominant sphingolipid in mammalian cells. Its production in the trans -Golgi traps cholesterol synthesized in the ER to promote formation of a sphingomyelin/sterol gradient along the secretory pathway. This gradient marks a fundamental transition in physical membrane properties that help specify organelle identify and function. We previously identified mutations in sphingomye...
