Comment typeDescription
Alternative ProductsEvent=Alternative splicing; Named isoforms=3; Name=1; IsoId=O43688-1; Sequence=Displayed; Name=2; IsoId=O43688-2; Sequence=VSP_037765; Note=No experimental confirmation available.; Name=3; IsoId=O43688-3; Sequence=VSP_047366; Note=Gene prediction based on EST data.;
Catalytic ActivityA 1,2-diacylglycerol 3-phosphate + H(2)O = a 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol + phosphate.
Enzyme RegulationInhibited by sphingosine, zinc ions and propanolol.
FunctionCatalyzes the conversion of phosphatidic acid (PA) to diacylglycerol (DG). In addition it hydrolyzes lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), ceramide-1-phosphate (C-1-P) and sphingosine-1- phosphate (S-1-P). The relative catalytic efficiency is PA > C-1-P > LPA > S-1-P.
SimilarityBelongs to the PA-phosphatase related phosphoesterase family.
Subcellular LocationMembrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
SubunitHomodimer.
Tissue SpecificityFound mainly in brain, pancreas and placenta.
