epitope corresponding to amino acids 1-181 mapping at the N-terminus of ASM of human origin
Modification Notes
Acid sphingomyelinase (ASM) is a lysosomal protein that hydrolyzes sphingomyelin to ceramide and phosphocholine. The ASM gene encodes three proteins, ASM-1, ASM-2 and ASM-3, of which ASM-1 is the only ASM gene product that is a catalytically active enzyme. Deficiency of ASM is associated with type A and type B Niemann-Pick disease. Type A is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder seen in infancy and resulting in death by age three, whereas type B is a non-neuropathic disease that has a later onset. During monocytic cell differentiation, the expression of ASM is upregulated by the combined actions of AP-2 and Sp1 transcription factors.
