Phospholipase D
Definition:
EC Tree > 3 Hydrolases > 3.1 Acting on ester bonds > 3.1.4 Phosphoric-diester hydrolases > 3.1.4.4 phospholipase D
Phospholipase D is a phosphodiesterase that hydrolyses a phosphatidylcholine into choline and a phosphatidate, and also acts on other phosphatidyl esters. By generating phosphatidic acid and free choline it transduces extracellular signals into mTOR, Rac and vesicle-trafficking pathways, and plant PLD is activated during stress and senescence. It appears in viruses and cellular organisms and contains a HKD-motif phospholipase D fold.
