NAPEPLD Gene Summary [Human]
NAPEPLD is a phospholipase D type enzyme that catalyzes the release of N-acylethanolamine (NAE) from N-acyl-phosphatidylethanolamine (NAPE) in the second step of the biosynthesis of N-acylethanolamine (Okamoto et al., 2004 [PubMed 14634025]).[supplied by OMIM, Oct 2008]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human NAPEPLD often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Beta-lactamase superfamily domain
- Metallo-beta-lactamase superfamily
- binding protein
- zinc ion binding
- enzyme
- identical protein binding
- metallo-hydrolase-like_MBL-fold
- phosphoric diester hydrolase
- phospholipase
