PLPPR1 phospholipid phosphatase related 1

Gene ID: 54886, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PRG3; LPPR1; PRG-3

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the plasticity-related gene (PRG) family. Members of the PRG family mediate lipid phosphate phosphatase activity in neurons and are known to be involved in neuronal plasticity. The protein encoded by this gene does not perform its function through enzymatic phospholipid degradation. This gene is strongly expressed in brain. It shows dynamic expression regulation during brain development and neuronal excitation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been observed.
