Application

TNPAL-Sphingomyelin was used as substrate to determine the activity of sphingomyelinase spectrophotometrically.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Sphingomyelin (SM) is a sphingolipid found in the myelin sheath and cell membranes of animals. The regulation of SM content by sphingomyelinase and SM synthase 2 affect the membrane properties and signaling. Excess oxysterols result in increased amount of SM and calcium ions that is the main reason for artery blockage and atherosclerosis.

Substrates

Substrate for microbial and animal sphingomyelinases.

A colored derivative of sphingomyelin was synthesized and used as substrate for several sphingomyelinases. The compound is N-omega-trinitrophenyl-aminolaurylsphingosylphosphorylcholine. The rate of hydrolysis of this substrate was compared to that of bovine brain sphingomyelin, labelled with tritium in the choline moiety.

To understand the role of sphingomyelinase (SMase) in the function of biological membranes, we have investigated the effect of conversion of sphingomyelin (SM) to ceramide (Cer) on the assembly of domains in giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs). The GUVs were prepared
