SMPD4 - sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 4
Function
Catalyzes the hydrolysis of membrane sphingomyelin to form phosphorylcholine and ceramide (PubMed:16517606, PubMed:25180167). It has a relevant role in the homeostasis of membrane sphingolipids, thereby influencing membrane integrity, and endoplasmic reticulum organization and function (PubMed:31495489). May sensitize cells to DNA damage-induced apoptosis (PubMed:18505924). In skeletal muscle, mediates TNF-stimulated oxidant production (By similarity).
