SMPD2 Protein, Human (Cell-Free, His)

In vitro experiments have demonstrated that the sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 2 (SMPD2) protein plays a key role in catalyzing the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin, leading to the formation of ceramide and phosphocholine. Furthermore, SMPD2 exhibits its enzymatic activity by hydrolyzing 1-O-alkyl-2-lyso-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (hemolytic platelet-activating factor) in vivo. SMPD2 Protein, Human (Cell-Free, His) is the recombinant human-derived SMPD2 protein, expressed by E. coli Cell-free , with N-10*His labeled tag.

Description

In vitro experiments have demonstrated that the sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 2 (SMPD2) protein plays a key role in catalyzing the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin, leading to the formation of ceramide and phosphocholine. Furthermore, SMPD2 exhibits its enzymatic activity by hydrolyzing 1-O-alkyl-2-lyso-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (hemolytic platelet-activating factor) in vivo.

Background

Sphingomyelin Phosphodiesterase 2 (SMPD2) is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin, cleaving it into ceramide and phosphocholine. This enzymatic activity is essential for sphingolipid metabolism and the regulation of cellular signaling. SMPD2 is also involved in the hydrolysis of 1-O-alkyl-2-lyso-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, specifically lyso-platelet-activating factor, in vivo. Additionally, SMPD2 acts on 1-acyl-2-lyso-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (lyso-PC) and sphingosylphosphocholine. The diverse substrate specificity of SMPD2 highlights its role in modulating the levels of bioactive lipid molecules, including ceramides and lysophospholipids, which are implicated in various cellular processes, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, and inflammation. Understanding the functions of SMPD2 provides insights into the intricate regulation of lipid metabolism and its impact on cellular homeostasis.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder.

Endotoxin Level

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration). Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
