The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

An overview of sphingolipid metabolism: from synthesis to breakdown (2010, background): “There are at least two members of the sphingomyelin synthase family in most mammalian species [57] and possibly a third family member known as SMSr [58].”
Global analysis of the yeast lipidome by quantitative shotgun mass spectrometry (2009, background): “These results also explain the successful metabolic conversion of fluorescent Cer tracers into IPC; and the inability to convert f luorescent IPC into MIPC and M(IP)2C (30).”
The complex life of simple sphingolipids (2004, background): “…with respect to the functional roles of specific sphingolipids, a recent study demonstrated that separate microdomains containing different proteins also contain different subsets of sphingolipids, which differ both in acyl-chain length and the hydrophilic head-group (Brugger et al, 2004).”
Discovery of the molecular machinery CERT for endoplasmic reticulum-to-Golgi trafficking of ceramide (2006, background): “The human genome contains genes for two different SM synthases, SMS1 and SMS2 [10].”
