Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 8612
Gene name Phospholipid phosphatase 2
Gene symbol PLPP2
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
LPP2PAP-2cPAP2-gPPAP2C
Chromosome 19
Chromosome location 19p13.3
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 media
