Function

Major sphingomyelin synthase at the Golgi apparatus (PubMed:14685263, PubMed:17449912). Catalyzes the reversible transfer of phosphocholine moiety in sphingomyelin biosynthesis: in the forward reaction transfers phosphocholine head group of phosphatidylcholine (PC) on to ceramide (CER) to form ceramide phosphocholine (sphingomyelin, SM) and diacylglycerol (DAG) as by-product, and in the reverse reaction transfers phosphocholine from SM to DAG to form PC and CER. The direction of the reaction depends on the levels of CER and DAG in Golgi membranes (PubMed:14685263, PubMed:14976195, PubMed:17449912, PubMed:17982138, PubMed:19454763). Does not use free phosphorylcholine or CDP-choline as donor (PubMed:14685263, PubMed:14976195). Regulates receptor-mediated signal transduction via mitogenic DAG and proapoptotic CER, as well as via SM, a structural component of membrane rafts that serve as platforms for signal transduction and protein sorting (PubMed:14976195, PubMed:17449912, PubMed:17982138). Plays a role in secretory transport via regulation of DAG pool at the Golgi apparatus and its downstream effects on PRKD1 (PubMed:18370930, PubMed:21980337).

Activity summary

Sphingomyelin Synthase 1 (SMS1) also known as sphingomyelin phosphatidylcholine transferase 1 is an enzyme that transfers a phosphatidylcholine group to ceramide forming sphingomyelin and diacylglycerol. It operates mainly in the Golgi apparatus and the plasma membrane. SMS1 has a molecular mass roughly 43 kDa. The enzyme exhibits strong expression in the liver kidney and brain indicating its importance in these tissues.

Biological function summary

SMS1 plays an important role in sphingolipid metabolism by ensuring the balance between sphingomyelin and ceramide levels. The enzyme functions within membrane and lipid-associated processes potentially affecting cellular signaling and structure. SMS1 is not part of a well-defined complex but interacts with other sphingolipid metabolism proteins which supports cellular homeostasis.

Pathways

SMS1 contributes significantly to the sphingolipid metabolic pathway and the ceramide biosynthesis pathway. These pathways are essential for maintaining cellular membranes and serve as substrates for complex lipid biosynthesis. SMS1 closely interacts with proteins like ceramide synthase and glucosylceramide synthase coordinating the flux through sphingolipid-related paths and influencing apoptotic and proliferative signals.

Associated diseases and disorders

Disruptions in SMS1 function have links to atherosclerosis and neurodegenerative diseases. In atherosclerosis altered SMS1 activity can disrupt lipid balance encouraging lipid plaques in arteries. Furthermore SMS1 connections with proteins like acid sphingomyelinase may influence neurodegenerative conditions where sphingolipid imbalances contribute to cell death and dysfunction. These relationships highlight SMS1's emerging role in clinical research and as a possible therapeutic target.

    Paraffin-embedded human pancreatic tissue stained for Sphingomyelin Synthase 1 using ab235057 at 1/400 dilution in immunohistochemical analysis.

    After dewaxing and hydration, antigen retrieval was mediated by high pressure in a citrate buffer (pH 6.0). Section was blocked with 10% normal goat serum for 30 minutes at room temperature. Primary antibody (1% BSA) was incubated at 4°C overnight. The primary antibody was detected by a biotinylated secondary antibody and visualized using a HRP conjugated SP system.
