General Information

General Information	Comment	Organism
physiological function	sphingomyelins are abundant in Nilaparvata lugens and synthesized by sphingomyelin synthase-like protein SMSL2. Contrary to other insects, high concentrations of sphingomyelins rather than ceramide phosphoethanolamines exist in Nilaparvata lugens. Knockdowns of isoform SMSL2 decrease concentrations of sphingomyelins. The knockdown of SMSL1 or SMSL2 increases female body weight but not that of males	Nilaparvata lugens
