General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction an inborn deficiency in aSMase activity leads to a lysosomal storage of sphingomyelin and a fatal pathology that has been designated as the type A and type B of Niemann-Pick-disease Homo sapiens
additional information besides the aSMase, an alkaline sphingomyelinase and two neutral sphingomyelinases 1 and 2, nSMase1 and nSMase2, exist Homo sapiens
physiological function aSMase is known to induce apoptosis in a variety of cell lines and is emerging as an important mediator of inflammation in various pathological backgrounds Homo sapiens
