General description

C12-NBD Sphingomyelin is a fluorescent analog of biologically active molecule, sphingomyelin. Sphingomyelin is predominantly found in the animal plasma membrane. It is abundantly present as component of cell membranes in mammals, nematodes, protozoa.

Application

C12-NBD-sphingomyelin has been used as a substrate to test substrate specificity of neutral ceramidase orthologue encoded by AsahA gene.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Sphingomyelin (SM) is produced from phosphatidylcholine and ceramide on the cell surface and in lumen of the Golgi. SM′s high packing density and affinity to sterols form a rigid barrier to the extracellular environment. SM is also involved in the formation of lipid rafts in cell membranes, which perform important functions in signal transduction and membrane trafficking.

Sphingomyelin (SM) is a major component of animal plasma membranes. Its production involves the transfer of phosphocholine from phosphatidylcholine onto ceramide, yielding diacylglycerol as a side product. This reaction is catalysed by SM synthase, an enzyme whose biological potential can
