This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification.
Immunogen
This SMPD3 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 137-165 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human SMPD3.
SMPD3 catalyzes the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin to form ceramide and phosphocholine. Ceramide mediates numerous cellular functions, such as apoptosis and growth arrest, and is capable of regulating these 2 cellular events independently. Also hydrolyzes sphingosylphosphocholine. Regulates the cell cycle by acting as a growth suppressor in confluent cells. Probably acts as a regulator of postnatal development and participates in bone and dentin mineralization.
