glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase domain containing 2
Symbol
GDPD2
(may also be known as: None)
Organism
Human
Description
This gene encodes a member of the glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase enzyme family. The encoded protein hydrolyzes glycerophosphoinositol to produce inositol 1-phosphate and glycerol. This protein may have a role in osteoblast differentiation and growth. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]
