Summary: Enables sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase activity. Involved in ceramide biosynthetic process and sphingomyelin catabolic process. Located in extracellular region. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Niemann-Pick disease; Niemann-Pick disease type A; and Niemann-Pick disease type B. Orthologous to human SMPD1 (sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 1).
