Biophysicochemical PropertiespH dependence: Optimum pH is 7.0. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16517606};
Catalytic ActivitySphingomyelin + H(2)O = N-acylsphingosine + phosphocholine.
CofactorName=Mg(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:18420; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:16517606};
Enzyme RegulationActivated by phosphatidylserine and tumor necrosis factor (TNF). Inhibited by scyphostatin. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16517606}.
FunctionCatalyzes the hydrolysis of membrane sphingomyelin to form phosphorylcholine and ceramide. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16517606}.
