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-phosphate are bioactive lipids that mediate cellular signaling pathways regulating several biological processes including cell proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation (PubMed:15946935, PubMed:19345744, PubMed:24798654). Also catalyzes the reverse reaction allowing the synthesis of ceramides from fatty acids and sphingosine (PubMed:11278489, PubMed:17475390). Together with sphingomyelinase, participates in the production of sphingosine and sphingosine-1- phosphate from the degradation of sphingomyelin, a sphingolipid enriched in the plasma membrane of cells (PubMed:16061940). Also participates in the hydrolysis of ceramides from the extracellular milieu allowing the production of sphingosine-1-phosphate inside and outside cells (By similarity). This is the case for instance with the digestion of dietary sphingolipids in the intestinal tract (By similarity). |

Membrane raft {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9JHE3}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q91XT9}.

Golgi apparatus membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q91XT9}. Mitochondrion. Secreted, extracellular exosome. Note=Enriched in exosomes upon stimulation by cytokine (PubMed:24798654). Enriched in caveolae and lipid rafts (By similarity). The localization to the mitochondrion could not be confirmed (PubMed:15845354) {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9JHE3, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15845354, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24798654} |
Tissue Location | Primarily expressed in intestine (PubMed:17334805). Ubiquitously expressed with higher levels in kidney, skeletal muscle and heart (PubMed:10781606). The ubiquitous expression observed for ASAH2 might be an experimental artifact due to the paralog ASAH2B (PubMed:17334805). |

Background
ASAH2 is a key regulator of sphingolipid signaling metabolites. It catalyzes the degradation of sphingolipid C-16 Ceramide into sphingosine and free fatty acid at an optimal pH of 6.5-8.5.
