Background
This gene encodes a member of the phospholipase D (PLD) family of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of membrane phospholipids. The encoded protein is a single-pass type II membrane protein and contains two PLD phosphodiesterase domains. This protein influences processing of amyloid-beta precursor protein. Mutations in this gene are associated with Alzheimer disease risk. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2014],catalytic activity:A phosphatidylcholine + H(2)O = choline + a phosphatidate.,PTM:Glycosylated.,similarity:Belongs to the phospholipase D family.,similarity:Contains 2 PLD phosphodiesterase domains.,tissue specificity:Widely expressed. Expressec at higher level in brain. Expresse at low level in corpus callosum, suggsting that it is highly expressed in neurons.,
