'''Sphingomyelinase''' (SMase) or '''sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase''' is a hydrolase involved in sphingolipid metabolism.  It catalyzes the breakdown of sphingomyelin (SM) to phosphocholine and ceramide<ref>PMID:11001563</ref>.  The SMase is classified into 5 types according to their pH dependence and cation dependence.

'''Acid SMase-like phosphodiesterase 3A''' hydrolyzes nucleotides triphosphates and diphosphates while '''Acid SMase-like phosphodiesterase 3B''' is a GPI-anchored protein with role in inflammatory processes and kidney disease<ref>PMID:27687724</ref>.
