LPP3, VCIP, Dri42, PAP2B, Lipid phosphate phosphohydrolase 3, PAP2-beta, Phosphatidate phosphohydrolase type 2b, Phosphatidic acid phosphatase 2b, PAP-2b, Vascular endothelial growth factor and type I collagen-inducible protein, PPAP2B
Catalyzes the conversion of phosphatidic acid (PA) to diacylglycerol (DG). In addition it hydrolyzes lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), ceramide-1-phosphate (C-1-P) and sphingosine-1-phosphate (S-1-P). The relative catalytic efficiency is LPA = PA > C-1-P > S-1-P. May be involved in cell adhesion and in cell-cell interactions.
