About PLPP3

Cytogenetic location: 1p32.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 1:56,494,761-56,579,563 (from NCBI)

This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 279 orthologues and 9 paralogues. Broad expression in thyroid (RPKM 205.6), placenta (RPKM 102.2) and 23 other tissues.

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 de novo synthesis of glycerolipids as well as in receptor-activated signal transduction mediated by Phospholipase D. This protein is a membrane glycoprotein localized at the cell plasma membrane. It has been shown to actively hydrolyze extracellular lysophosphatidic acid and short-chain phosphatidic acid. The expression of this gene is found to be enhanced by epidermal growth factor in Hela cells. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]
