背景
The protein encoded by this gene is a lysosomal acid sphingomyelinase that converts sphingomyelin to ceramide. The encoded protein also has phospholipase C activity. Defects in this gene are a cause of Niemann-Pick disease type A (NPA) and Niemann-Pick disease type B (NPB). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.

功能
catalytic activity:Sphingomyelin + H(2)O = N-acylsphingosine + choline phosphate.,disease:Defects in SMPD1 are the cause of Niemann-Pick disease type A (NPA) [MIM:257200]; also referred to as the classical infantile form. Niemann-Pick disease is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous recessive disorder. It is caused by the accumulation of sphingomyelin and other metabolically related lipids in the lysosomes, resulting in neurodegeneration starting from early life. Patients may show xanthomas, pigmentation, hepatosplenomegaly, lymphadenopathy and mental retardation. Niemann-Pick disease occurs more frequently among individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry than in the general population. NPA is characterized by very early onset in infancy and a rapidly progressive course leading to death by three years.,disease:Defects in SMPD1 are the cause of Niemann-Pick disease type B (NPB) [MIM:60
