Full name | | sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 2, neutral membrane (neutral sphingomyelinase) |
Aliases | | ,ISC1,NSMASE,NSMASE1, |
Gene summary | | This gene encodes a protein which was initially identified as a sphingomyelinase based on sequence similarity between bacterial sphingomyelinases and a yeast protein. Subsequent studies showed that its biological function is less likely to be as a sphingomyelinase and instead as a lysophospholipase. [provided by RefSeq] |
