Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionasm-2 encodes a protein similar to human acid sphingomyelinase (ASM) or sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 1; the ASM-2 protein has a putative secretory signal peptide at the N-terminus, saposin-like and proline-rich domains and putative N-linked glycosylation sites; asm-2 shows phosphodiesterase activity when expressed in COS-7 cells; like mammalian ASM, asm-2 is probably both intracellular and secreted; northern blot analysis indicates that asm-2 is expressed during post-embryonic development as compared to asm-1 which is expressed at higher levels in the embryo; human ASM is implicated in Niemann-Pick disease type B (OMIM:607608).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00003086

Automated_descriptionEnables sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase activity. Involved in ceramide biosynthetic process and sphingomyelin catabolic process. Located in extracellular region. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Niemann-Pick disease type A and Niemann-Pick disease type B. Is an ortholog of human SMPD1 (sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 1).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Pseudo_map_position
Reference (13)
RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
