Protein name Sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 2 (EC 3.1.4.12) (Lyso-platelet-activating factor-phospholipase C) (Lyso-PAF-PLC) (Neutral sphingomyelinase) (N-SMase) (nSMase) (nSMase1)
Protein function Catalyzes, at least in vitro, the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin to form ceramide and phosphocholine (PubMed:10608884). Also hydrolyzes 1-O-alkyl-2-lyso-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (lyso-platelet-activating factor) in vivo (PubMed:10608884). Also a
