Description

GPCPD1 encodes glycerophosphocholine phosphodiesterase 1, an enzyme that hydrolyzes glycerophosphocholine to choline and glycerol-3-phosphate. It plays a role in choline metabolism, phospholipid homeostasis, and may influence cell signaling and membrane integrity. The gene is also known as GDE5.

Protein Summary

GPCPD1 is a 63 kDa membrane-associated protein with glycerophosphocholine phosphodiesterase activity. It converts glycerophosphocholine into choline and glycerol-3-phosphate, contributing to choline recycling and phospholipid turnover. The protein is widely expressed, with highest levels in testis and prostate.
