== Function ==
'''Saposin''' (Sap) is a small protein which functions as activator of lipid-degrading enzymes.  They act by isolating the lipid substrate from the membrane.  Sap is synthesized as a precursor – prosaposin – which contain 4 SapB active domains (cleaved to saposin A,B,C and D) and 2 SapA domains which are cleaved off<ref>PMID:2001789</ref>. See also [[Lipid metabolism]].
