DOI: 10.1111/cmi.13065
Abstract: Acid sphingomyelinase (ASM) is a lysosomal enzyme that cleaves the phosphorylcholine head group of sphingomyelin, generating ceramide. Recessive mutations in SMPD1, the gene encoding ASM, cause Niemann–Pick Disease Types A and B. These disorders are… read more here.
