LPPR2, also known as Lipid Phosphate Phosphatase-Related Protein Type 2 or Phospholipid Phosphatase Related 2 (PLPPR2), is a protein encoded by the LPPR2 gene in humans. It belongs to a family of membrane-associated phosphatases that play a role in the regulation of lipid signaling molecules, particularly phospholipids.LPPR2 is involved in the dephosphorylation of lipid phosphate substrates, such as lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P). These substrates are bioactive lipids that act as signaling molecules, influencing various cellular processes like cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, and survival. By modulating the levels of these lipid phosphate substrates, LPPR2 plays a role in regulating their signaling pathways.
The enzyme is predominantly expressed in the central nervous system, suggesting a significant role in neural functions. Research indicates that LPPR2 may be involved in the development and maintenance of the nervous system, influencing processes like neurite outgrowth and synaptic function. Its activity in the brain highlights its importance in neural health and disease.LPPR2's role in lipid signaling also suggests its involvement in various pathological conditions, such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and neurological disorders. Dysregulation of lipid phosphate signaling pathways can contribute to the development and progression of these diseases.
