Rat Sphingomyelin Phosphodiesterase 2 (SMPD2) ELISA Kit | SMPD2 elisa kit
Rat Sphingomyelin Phosphodiesterase 2 (SMPD2) ELISA Kit
* Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.
* Pre-rinse the pipet tip with reagent, use fresh pipet tips for each sample, standard and reagent to avoid contamination.
* Unused wells must be kept desiccated at 4 degree C in the sealed bag provided.
* Mix Thoroughly is very important for the result. It is recommended using low frequency oscillator or slight hand shaking every 10 minutes.
* It is recommended that all samples and standards be assayed in duplicate or triplicate.
Background: SMPD2 isa protein which was initially identified as a sphingomyelinase based on sequence similarity between bacterial sphingomyelinases and a yeast protein. Subsequent studies showed that its biological function is less likely to be as a sphingomyelinase and instead as a lysophospholipase. Neutral sphingomyelinase (N-SMase) activity was first described in fibroblasts from patients with Niemann-Pick disease - a lysosomal storage disease characterized by deficiencies in acid SMase. Subsequent study found that this enzyme was the product of a distinct gene, had an optimum pH of 7.4, was dependent on Mg2+ ions for activity, and was particularly enriched in brain.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
catalyzes the Mg2+ dependent hydrolysis of sphingomyelin to form N-acylsphingosine and choline phosphate; also has a lower activity for the hydrolysis of lyso-platelet activating factor to 1-alkylglycerol [RGD, Feb 2006]
Uniprot Description
Function: Converts sphingomyelin to ceramide. Hydrolyze 1-acyl-2-lyso-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (lyso-PC) and 1-O-alkyl-2-lyso-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (lyso-platelet-activating factor). The physiological substrate seems to be Lyso-PAF.
Catalytic activity: Sphingomyelin + H2O = N-acylsphingosine + phosphocholine.
Cofactor: Magnesium.
Pathway: Lipid metabolism; sphingolipid metabolism.
Subcellular location: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Sequence similarities: Belongs to the neutral sphingomyelinase family.

Product Notes
The Rat SMPD2 smpd2 (Catalog #AAA9711851) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9711851 ELISA Kit recognizes Rat SMPD2. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Sphingomyelin Phosphodiesterase 2 (SMPD2), ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
