Phospholipase D

Phospholipase D (PLD), an enzyme within the phospholipase superfamily, is prevalent across bacteria, yeast, plants, animals, and viruses, serving roles in biochemical research. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of glycerophospholipids' phosphodiester bonds, generating phosphatidic acid and soluble choline. PLD is implicated in numerous disease-related pathways, such as diabetes, atherogenesis, obesity, tumorigenesis, immune responses, and neuroendocrine functions [1].
