Summary Ceramidases (EC 3.5.1.23), such as ASAH2, catalyze hydrolysis of the N-acyl linkage of ceramide, a second messenger in a variety of cellular events, to produce sphingosine. Sphingosine exerts both mitogenic and apoptosis-inducing activities, and its phosp

Protein name Neutral ceramidase (N-CDase) (NCDase) (EC 3.5.1.-) (EC 3.5.1.23) (Acylsphingosine deacylase 2) (BCDase) (LCDase) (hCD) (N-acylsphingosine amidohydrolase 2) (Non-lysosomal ceramidase) [Cleaved into: Neutral ceramidase soluble form]
Protein function Plasma membrane ceramidase that hydrolyzes sphingolipid ceramides into sphingosine and free fatty acids at neutral pH (PubMed:10781606, PubMed:16229686, PubMed:26190575). Ceramides, sphingosine, and its phosphorylated form sphingosine-1-phosphat
