Phospholipase D2 (PLD2) is an enzyme encoded by the PLD2 gene. Phosphatidylcholine (PC)-specific phospholipases D (PLDs) catalyze the hydrolysis of PC to produce phosphatidic acid and choline. The Phospholipase D (PLD) lipid-signaling enzyme superfamily has long been studied for its roles in cell communication and a wide range of cell biological processes. Potent PLD2 inhibitors are available, like VU 0364739 hydrochloride (Tocris Cat. 4171) and ML 298 hydrochloride (Tocris Cat. 4895). Three different PLD2 isoforms -PLD2A, PLD2B and PLD2C- have been described, ranging from 38 to 105 KDa.
