Gdpd2 - glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase domain containing 2

This gene encodes a member of the glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase enzyme family. The encoded protein hydrolyzes glycerophosphoinositol to produce inositol 1-phosphate and glycerol. Overexpression of this gene is associated with activity-dependent actin cytoskeleton disorganization. The encoded protein may negatively regulate growth rate and induce differentiation of osteoblasts. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015]
