Full name: phospholipid phosphatase 2

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: Lpp2; PAP2-G; PAP2-gamma; PAP2c; Ppap2c

Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a lipid phosphate phosphohydrolase. It is an integral membrane protein that catalyzes the conversion of phosphatidic acid to diacylglycerol and inorganic phosphate. The transcript is expressed at high levels in lung, liver, and kidney and at low levels in brain and heart. Null mutant mice are viable and fertile and display no overt phenotypic defects. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]
