The nuclear envelope is a membrane system which surrounds the nucleoplasm of eukaryotic cells. It is composed of the nuclear lamina, nuclear pore complexes and two nuclear membranes. The space between the two membranes is called the nuclear intermembrane space.
Catalyzes the hydrolysis of membrane sphingomyelin to form phosphorylcholine and ceramide. It has a relevant role in the homeostasis of membrane sphingolipids, thereby influencing membrane integrity, and endoplasmic reticulum organization and function. May sensitize cells to DNA damage-induced apoptosis. {By
