Phospholipid phosphatase 4

Definition:

Magnesium-independent phospholipid phosphatase with broad substrate specificity. Preferentially catalyzes the conversion of diacylglycerol pyrophosphate into phosphatidate but can also act on phosphatidate and lysophosphatidate. Phospholipid phosphatases are involved in both the synthesis of lipids and the degradation or generation of lipid-signaling molecules like diacylglycerol.
