On smooth ER, the synthesis of carbohydrates, lipids and steroid hormones occur as the main part of its function. Furthermore, detoxification of medication and poisons also take place at smooth ER and it is the store of Calcium ions (most in muscle cells).

Phospholipids, ceramide, and sterols are primarily synthesized in mammalian cells by enzymes in the ER, usually associated with the cytoplasmic leaflet of the SER.
