	intracellular,nuclear envelope,pore
text	presence of SMPD4 at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the Golgi apparatus, and and to the nuclear envelope
	SMPD4 is enriched at the nuclear pore complexes (NPCs)

basic FUNCTION	play a role in sphingolipid homeostasis and membrane structure
	an important molecule that is linked to tumorigenesis and cellular stress response
	is a signaling neutral sphingomyelinase (nSMase) in skeletal muscle that is essential for TNF-stimulated oxidant activity
	SMPD4 links homeostasis of membrane sphingolipids to cell fate by regulating the cross-talk between the ER and the outer nuclear envelope
	role of SMPD4 in cell fate and mitosis , and primary function of SMPD4 in brain development and in postnatal brain function
