    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

    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)
