Protein: Sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 2 (EC 3.1.4.12) (Acid sphingomyelinase 2) (ASM-2) (Q23498)
Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
Function: Sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase (sphingomyelinase) that converts sphingomyelin (N-acyl-sphingoid-1-phosphocholine) to ceramide (N-acyl-sphingoid base) and phosphocholine at acidic pH. Displays its enzymatic activity when secreted. May play distinct roles in signaling.
Subcellular location: Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9603947}. Note=Only the secreted form is enzymatically active. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9603947}.
