Improved sensitivity of an acid sphingomyelinase activity assay using a C6:0 sphingomyelin substrate
Short-chain C6-sphingomyelin is an artificial substrate that was used in an acid sphingomyelinase activity assay for a pilot screening study of patients with Niemann–Pick disease types A and B. Using previously published multiplex and single assay conditions, normal acid sphingomyelinase activity le...
