Sphingomyelinase has been used in a study to assess the interaction of actin with the HIV-1 accessory protein Nef. 1 Sphingomyelinase has also been used in a study to investigate X-ray scattering as a quality-control tool for liposomal drug-delivery systems. 2
Initiates the formation of sphingomyelin-based second messengers. Activates MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) and SAPKs (stress-activated protein kinases); generates ceramide from sphingomyelin.
