Gene information for SMPD1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID6609
Official gene symbolSMPD1
Full namesphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 1, acid lysosomal
Aliases,ASM,NPD,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a lysosomal acid sphingomyelinase that converts sphingomyelin to ceramide. The encoded protein also has phospholipase C activity. Defects in this gene are a cause of Niemann-Pick disease type A (NPA) and Niemann-Pick disease type B (NPB). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.
