| Function | Converts sphingomyelin to ceramide (PubMed:12563314, PubMed:1840600, PubMed:18815062, PubMed:25339683, PubMed:25920558, PubMed:27659707, PubMed:33163980). Exists as two enzymatic forms that arise from alternative trafficking of a single protein precursor, one that is targeted to the endolysosomal compartment, whereas the other is released extracellularly (PubMed:20807762, PubMed:21098024, PubMed:9660788). However, in response to various forms of stress, lysosomal exocytosis may represent a major source of the secretory form (PubMed:12563314, PubMed:20530211, PubMed:20807762, PubMed:22573858, PubMed:9393854). |
| Cellular Location | Lysosome. Lipid droplet. Secreted. Note=The secreted form is induced in a time- and dose-dependent by IL1B and TNF as well as stress and viral infection. This increase of the secreted form seems to be due to exocytosis of the lysosomal form and is Ca(2+)-dependent (PubMed:20530211, PubMed:20807762, PubMed:22573858). Secretion is dependent of phosphorylation at Ser-510 (PubMed:17303575). Secretion is induced by inflammatory mediators such as IL1B, IFNG or TNF as well as infection with bacteria and viruses (PubMed:12563314, PubMed:20807762) |

Background
Converts sphingomyelin to ceramide. Also has phospholipase C activities toward 1,2-diacylglycerolphosphocholine and 1,2-diacylglycerolphosphoglycerol. Isoform 2 and isoform 3 have lost catalytic activity.

Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.
