PLAAT2, Official Symbol PLAAT2provided by HGNC Official Full Name phospholipase A and acyltransferase 2provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:17824 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000133328 MIM:613866; AllianceGenome:HGNC:17824 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as HRASLS2; PLAAT-2; PLA1/2-2 Summary The protein encoded by this gene has both phospholipase and acyltransferase activities and acts as a tumor suppressor. The encoded protein can hydrolyze dipalmitoylated phosphatidylcholine (PC) to palmitic acid and lyso-PC. In addition, this protein can catalyze the N-acylation of phosphatidylethanolamine and can catalyze the O-acylation of lyso-PC to form PC.
