PLPP1 phospholipid phosphatase 1 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 8611)

Symbol: PLPP1

Full name: phospholipid phosphatase 1

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: LLP1a; LPP1; PAP-2a; PAP2; PPAP2A

Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the phosphatidic acid phosphatase (PAP) family. PAPs convert phosphatidic acid to diacylglycerol, and function in synthesis of glycerolipids and in phospholipase D-mediated signal transduction. This enzyme is an integral membrane glycoprotein that plays a role in the hydrolysis and uptake of lipids from extracellular space. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants of this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]
