PLD3 phospholipase D family member 3

Gene ID: 23646, updated on 7-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: AD19; HUK4; HU-K4; SCA46

Summary

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]
