In situ assay of acid sphingomyelinase and ceramidase based on LDL-mediated lysosomal targeting of ceramide-labeled sphingomyelin

The activity of lysosomal sphingolipid hydrolases is usually estimated in vitro from complex assays on cell lysates under artificial conditions including the presence of detergents and substrate analogs. However, the measure of their effective activity in situ (i.e., in living cells) is necessary to...
