Sphingomyelinphosphodiesterase, derived from Bacillus cereus, is a hydrolase enzyme involved in sphingomyelin metabolism. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin into phosphocholine and ceramide. Additionally, sphingomyelinphosphodiesterase plays a crucial role in cell differentiation, various immune and inflammatory responses, and in the intracellular transport and metabolism of cholesterol.
