Sphingomyelinase activity at pH 7.4 in human brain and a comparison to activity at pH 5.0

A hitherto undescribed sphingomyelinase (sph'ase 7.4) of human brain has been studied in crude and partially purified (3- to 4- fold) extracts of grey matter, and compared to the known sphingomyelinase with an acid pH optimum (sph'ase 5.0). Its specificity for sphingomyelin as substrate is...
