SGD DescriptionMg2+-dependent phosphatidate (PA) phosphatase; dephosphorylates PA to yield diacylglycerol; responsible for de novo lipid synthesis and formation of lipid droplets; phosphorylation by Pho80p-Pho85p decreases catalytic activity and alters Pah1p localization and abundance; phosphorylation by protein kinase A decreases catalytic efficiency; dephosphorylation by Nem1p-Spo7p anchors Pah1p to the membrane increasing substrate catalysis; homologous to mammalian lipins 1 and 2
PomBase Descriptionlipin, phosphatidate phosphatase Ned1
AspGD DescriptionOrtholog(s) have role in endoplasmic reticulum organization, nucleus organization and cytosol localization
