Description

N-stearoyl sphingomyelin or stearoyl-sphingomyelin, a minor sphingomyelin component found in milk, is classified as a member of the Phosphosphingolipids. Sphingomyelin has a high affinity for cholesterol and these two lipids pack tightly into liquid-ordered domains among a liquid-disordered phase to form lipid rafts.
