NSMAF neutral sphingomyelinase activation associated factor

Gene ID: 8439, updated on 3-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: FAN; GRAMD5

Summary

This gene encodes a WD-repeat protein that binds the cytoplasmic sphingomyelinase activation domain of the 55kD tumor necrosis factor receptor. This protein is required for TNF-mediated activation of neutral sphingomyelinase and may play a role in regulating TNF-induced cellular responses such as inflammation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2009]
