Function
Catalyzes the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin to form ceramide and phosphocholine. Ceramide mediates numerous cellular functions, such as apoptosis and growth arrest, and is capable of regulating these 2 cellular events independently. Also hydrolyzes sphingosylphosphocholine.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Golgi apparatus membrane (Lipid-anchor); Cell membrane (Lipid-anchor)
Tissue Specificity: Predominantly expressed in brain
Pathway: Lipid metabolism; sphingolipid metabolism
