Protein function (UniProt)

Sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase

Converts sphingomyelin to ceramide (PubMed:12563314, PubMed:1840600, PubMed:18815062, PubMed:25339683, PubMed:25920558, PubMed:27659707, PubMed:33163980). Exists as two enzymatic forms that arise from alternative trafficking of a single protein precursor, one that is targeted to the endolysosomal compartment, whereas the other is released extracellularly (PubMed:20807762, PubMed:21098024, PubMed:9660788). However, in response to various forms of stress, lysosomal exocytosis may represent a major source of the secretory form (PubMed:12563314, PubMed:20530211, PubMed:20807762, PubMed:22573858, PubMed:9393854)
