About SMPD3
Predicted to enable phosphatidic acid binding activity; phosphatidylserine binding activity; and sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of exosomal secretion and sphingomyelin metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including animal organ development; enzyme linked receptor protein signaling pathway; and sphingolipid metabolic process. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Biomarker of pulmonary emphysema. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

About PE
Phycoerythrin (PE, R-PE) is a red-emitting fluorescent protein-chromophore complex that can be excited the 488-nm blue, 532-nm green, or 561-nm yellow-green laser with increasing efficiency and captured with a 586/14 nm bandpass filter. PE has an excitation peak at 565 nm and an emission peak at 578 nm. PE is 240kD in size and has an extinction coefficient of ~2x10^6 which makes it one of the brightest fluorophores available and a potent donor upon which to build tandem fluorophores with longer Stoke's Shifts.
