Sphingomyelin Synthase 2/SGMS2 Protein, Human (HEK293, Fc)

The sphingomyelin synthase 2 (SGMS2) protein plays a crucial role in plasma membrane sphingomyelin synthesis. It catalyzes the reversible transfer of the phosphocholine moiety in sphingomyelin biosynthesis to form ceramide phosphocholine. Sphingomyelin Synthase 2/SGMS2 Protein, Human (HEK293, Fc) is the recombinant human-derived Sphingomyelin Synthase 2/SGMS2 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with N-mFc labeled tag.

Sphingomyelin Synthase 2 (SGMS2) protein serves as a key contributor to sphingomyelin synthesis and maintenance at the plasma membrane. This enzyme facilitates the reversible transfer of the phosphocholine moiety in sphingomyelin biosynthesis, catalyzing the formation of ceramide phosphocholine (sphingomyelin) from phosphatidylcholine and ceramide. The direction of this reaction is influenced by the levels of ceramide and diacylglycerol in the plasma membrane. Additionally, SGMS2 can transfer the phosphoethanolamine head group of phosphatidylethanolamine onto ceramide to generate ceramide phosphoethanolamine. Beyond its role in sphingolipid metabolism, SGMS2 regulates receptor-mediated signal transduction by modulating diacylglycerol and ceramide levels, impacting mitogenic and proapoptotic signaling. Moreover, SGMS2 contributes to secretory transport and influences Golgi apparatus function, notably affecting the downstream effects on PRKD1. Its involvement in these cellular processes highlights its significance in maintaining membrane structure, regulating signal transduction, and impacting bone matrix mineralization.

The enzyme activity of this recombinant protein is testing in progress, we cannot offer a guarantee yet.

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 a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

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.

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
