Sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 1 (SMPD1), also known as acid sphingomyelinase (ASM), is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the SMPD1 gene.
Sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 1 belongs to the sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase family.
Clinical significance
Defects in SMPD1 gene cause Niemann-Pick disease, SMPD1-associated.
A L302P mutation in the SMPD1 gene as a risk factor for Parkinson disease.
