| Application: | Sphingomyelin is suitable for use: • in the preparation of standard during the enzymatic measurement of plasma sphingomyelin levels • to study the binding of Vascular Anticoagulant α (VAC α) to planar phospholipid bilayers • to perform fluorescence polarization of PC16 (N-[α-N-palmitoyl-ε-N-(4-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazole)-L-lysine]-2-aminoethanol-N- (trimethylaminoethanol) phosphate) in dispersions of co-sonicated lecithin and sphingomyelin • for reconstitution of viral ion channel protein M2 into liposomes • as a standard sample to define spectral fingerproint using Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) • to evaluate the contribution of various phospholipids to the formation of foam in the amniotic fluid |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Sphingomyelin is the second most abundant lipid and major sphingolipid component of HDL and the plasma membrane. It forms cholesterol-enriched lipid rafts. It has a key role in the availability of plasma membrane-free cholesterol. |
| General description: | Sphingomyelin (SM) is a principal sphingolipid in mammalian cell membranes. Its biological functions have been studied. |
