Plpp4 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable diacylglycerol diphosphate phosphatase activity; identical protein binding activity; and phosphatidate phosphatase activity. Predicted to be involved in phospholipid dephosphorylation; phospholipid metabolic process; and regulation of calcium ion import. Predicted to act upstream of or within blastocyst hatching. Predicted to be active in membrane. Orthologous to human PLPP4 (phospholipid phosphatase 4). [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 rat Plpp4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
