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 |
