1. ENPP7 is the key enzyme in the gut that digests sphingomyelin . 2. The intertwining hydrocarbon chains of sphingomyelin serve to strengthen the myelin sheath. 3. Similarly, sphingomyelin may be broken down by sphingomyelinase to form ceramide. 4. Sphingomyelin has significant structural and functional roles in the cell.5. Sphingomyelin are also more prone to intermolecular hydrogen bonding than other phospholipids.6. Cholesterol absorption can be inhibited by supplementation of sphingomyelin in the diet. 7. Sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 1 belongs to the sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase family.8. Sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 1 belongs to the sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase family. 9. Sphingomyelin was first isolated by Johann L . W . Thudicum in the 1880s.10. The metabolism of sphingomyelin creates many products that play significant roles in the cell.
