Sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase, from Streptomyces sp., is a hydrolase involved in the sphingomyelin metabolism process. It catalyzes the conversion of sphingomyelin to phosphocholine and ceramide. This enzyme also plays a significant role in cellular differentiation, various immune and inflammatory responses, and intracellular cholesterol trafficking and metabolism.
