Gene music using protein sequence of pld3 phospholipase d family member 3


Phospholipase D family, member 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PLD3 gene.

Contents

Function

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.
