| 4. | Sphingomyelin has significant structural and functional roles in the cell.
|
| 5. | Sphingomyelin are also more prone to intermolecular hydrogen bonding than other phospholipids.
|
| 6. | Cholesterol absorption can be inhibited by supplementation of sphingomyelin in the diet.
|
| 7. | Sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 1 belongs to the sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase family.
