GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
PLPPR4 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
KIAA0455, LPPR4, PHP1, PRG-1
Description
Phospholipid phosphatase related 4 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the lipid phosphate phosphatase (LPP) family. LPPs catalyze the dephosphorylation of a number of bioactive lipid mediators that regulate a variety of cell functions. This protein is specifically expressed in neurons. It is located in the membranes of outgrowing axons and has been shown to be important for axonal outgrowth during development and regenerative sprouting. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
