Which function space on $\mathbb{R}^n$ is identified with $C^\infty(S^n)$?

Let $\mathbb{R}^n$ be $n$-dimensional Euclidean space and $S^n$ be $n$-sphere.

Then, it is well-known that $S^n$ is the one-point compactification of $\mathbb{R}^n$.

Now consider $C^\infty(S^n)$, the Frechet space of smooth functions on $S^n$.

Then, my question is

Which function space on $\mathbb{R}^n$ is identified with $C^\infty(S^n)$?

According to this link, the Schwartz space $\mathcal{S}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ is identified with a subspace of $C^\infty(S^n)$ comprising functions whose derivatives all vanish at a fixed point of $S^n$.

So, my current question is sort of inverse to the above link. I suspect that the answer to be

Smooth functions on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with bounded derivatives.

However, I am not sure if this is right. Could anyone help me?
