SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm
	intracellular,nucleus

basic FUNCTION	may be involved in carbohydrate metabolism
	required for proper cytokinesis during vegetative growth, timely exit from the mound stage during development, and myosin II assembly
	regulatory subunit of protein phosphatase 4 (PP4) complex, playing an important role in histone deacetylation and silencing of the Wnt-responsive gene, brachyury, in embryonic stem cells
	SMEK1-containing PP4 complex represses transcription of Wnt-responsive development-related genes through histone deacetylation, and that this complex is essential for ESC pluripotency maintenance

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	SMEK1/PPP4C proteins are involved in the regulation of hepatic glucose metabolism through dephosphorylation of CRTC2
	ZMYND10 directly interacts with SMEK1, a regulatory subunit of protein phosphatase 4 (N-terminus of ZMYND10 was observed to interact with the C-terminal of SMEK1)
