Acid sphingomyelinase possesses a domain homologous to its activator proteins: saposins B and D.

C P Ponting1.   

Abstract

An N-terminal region of the acid sphingomyelinase sequence (residues 89-165) is shown to be homologous to saposin-type sequences. By analogy with the known functions of saposins, this sphingomyelinase saposin-type domain may possess lipid-binding and/or sphingomyelinase-activator properties. This finding may prove to be important in the understanding of Niemann-Pick disease, which results from sphingomyelinase deficiency.
