EC 2.7.8.27     
Accepted name: sphingomyelin synthase
Reaction: a ceramide + a phosphatidylcholine = a sphingomyelin + a 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol
For diagram of reaction, click here
Glossary: sphingomyelin = a ceramide-1-phosphocholine
ceramide = an N-acylsphingoid. The fatty acids of naturally occurring ceramides range in chain length from about C16 to about C26 and may contain one or more double bonds and/or hydroxy substituents at C-2
sphingoid = sphinganine, i.e. D-erythro-2-aminooctadecane-1,3-diol, and its homologues and stereoisomers (see also Lip-1.4)
Other name(s): SM synthase; SMS1; SMS2
Systematic name: ceramide:phosphatidylcholine cholinephosphotransferase
Comments: The reaction can occur in both directions [3]. This enzyme occupies a central position in sphingolipid and glycerophospholipid metabolism [4]. Up- and down-regulation of its activity has been linked to mitogenic and pro-apoptotic signalling in a variety of mammalian cell types [4]. Unlike EC 2.7.8.3, ceramide cholinephosphotransferase, CDP-choline cannot replace phosphatidylcholine as the donor of the phosphocholine moiety of sphingomyelin [2].

EC 2.7.8.48     
Accepted name: ceramide phosphoethanolamine synthase
Reaction: CDP-ethanolamine + a ceramide = a ceramide phosphorylethanolamine + CMP
Other name(s): Cpes (gene name); CPE synthase
Systematic name: CDP-ethanolamine:ceramide phosphoethanolaminyltransferase
Comments: The enzyme, studied from the fly Drosophila melanogaster, has homologues among the invertebrates, but not in other animal phyla. Its product, ceramide phosphoethanolamine, is synthesized as the main sphingolipid in cell membranes of arthropods, such as Drosophila and Musca, and is common in worms, bees, spiders, and scorpions. It has also been reported in deep-sea mussels and some sea snails, as well as protozoans and oomycetes. The enzyme requires a Mn(II) cofactor.
