Abstract

Sphingomyelin (SM) is a type of sphingolipid found within plasma, cellular membranes and plasma lipoproteins. Here we highlight the basic biochemical features of SMs and their role in biological membranes. We further discuss evidence of the association between SM and cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, valvular disease, heart failure and diabetes mellitus.
