Napepld Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables N-acylphosphatidylethanolamine-specific phospholipase D activity. Involved in several processes, including N-acylphosphatidylethanolamine metabolic process; host-mediated regulation of intestinal microbiota composition; and positive regulation of brown fat cell differentiation. Acts upstream of or within N-acylethanolamine metabolic process. Is active in hippocampal mossy fiber to CA3 synapse; smooth endoplasmic reticulum membrane; and synaptic membrane. Is expressed in cerebral cortex. Orthologous to human NAPEPLD (N-acyl phosphatidylethanolamine phospholipase D). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 mouse 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.
