PPAP2C: Proteins and Enzymes

PPAP2C, also referred to as Phosphatidic Acid Phosphatase Type 2C, has a canonical sequence that is 288 amino acids long and approximately 32kDa, and two other isoforms that are 309 and 232 amino acids in length, respectively. PPAP2C is an enzyme that hydrolyzes S1P, C1P and LPA, and catalyzes the conversion of phosphatidic acid to diacylglycerol. Current research surrounding PPAP2C has shown a possible linkage with strabismus and gastroenteritis. PPAP2C has also been shown to interact with APLP1, BAG6, GALC, MLH1, and UNC119 in pathways such as triacylglyceride synthesis, sphingolipid metabolism, triacylglycerol biosynthesis, and Fc gamma R-mediated phagocytosis.
