Gene: PLD2

Alternate names for this Gene: PLD1C

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine to phosphatidic acid and choline. The activity of the encoded enzyme is enhanced by phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate and ADP-ribosylation factor-1. This protein localizes to the peripheral membrane and may be involved in cytoskeletal organization, cell cycle control, transcriptional regulation, and/or regulated secretion. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 17

Location in Chromosome : 17p13.2

Description of this Gene: phospholipase D2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
