Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

commentFUNCTION D-type phospholipase that hydrolyzes N-acyl-phosphatidylethanolamines (NAPEs) to produce bioactive N-acylethanolamines/fatty acid ethanolamides (NAEs/FAEs) and phosphatidic acid (PubMed:14634025, PubMed:16527816, PubMed:25684574, PubMed:27571266). Cleaves the terminal phosphodiester bond of diacyl- and alkenylacyl-NAPEs, primarily playing a role in the generation of long-chain saturated and monounsaturated NAEs in the brain (By similarity). May control NAPE homeostasis in dopaminergic neuron membranes and regulate neuron survival, partly through RAC1 activation (By similarity). As a regulator of lipid metabolism in the adipose tissue, mediates the crosstalk between adipocytes, gut microbiota and immune cells to control body temperature and weight. In particular, regulates energy homeostasis by promoting cold-induced brown or beige adipocyte differentiation program to generate heat from fatty acids and glucose. Has limited D-type phospholipase activity toward N-acyl lyso-NAPEs (By similarity).CATALYTIC ACTIVITY an N-acyl-1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine + H2O = an N-acylethanolamine + a 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + H(+)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY N-butanoyl-1-hexadecanoyl-2-(9Z,12Z-octadecadienoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine + H2O = N-butanoyl ethanolamine + 1-hexadecanoyl-2-(9Z,12Z-octadecadienoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + H(+)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY N-hexanoyl-1-hexadecanoyl-2-(9Z,12Z-octadecadienoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine + H2O = N-hexanoyl ethanolamine + 1-hexadecanoyl-2-(9Z,12Z-octadecadienoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + H(+)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY N-octanoyl-1-hexadecanoyl-2-(9Z,12Z-octadecadienoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine + H2O = N-octanoyl ethanolamine + 1-hexadecanoyl-2-(9Z,12Z-octadecadienoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + H(+)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY N-decanoyl-1-hexadecanoyl-2-(9Z,12Z-octadecadienoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine + H2O = N-decanoyl ethanolamine + 1-hexadecanoyl-2-(9Z,12Z-octadecadienoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + H(+)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY N-dodecanoyl-1,2-di-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine + H2O = N-dodecanoylethanolamine + 1,2-di-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + H(+)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY N-tetradecanoyl-1,2-di-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine + H2O = N-tetradecanoylethanolamine + 1,2-di-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + H(+)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY N-hexadecanoyl-1,2-di-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine + H2O = N-hexadecanoylethanolamine + 1,2-di-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + H(+)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY N,1-dihexadecanoyl-2-(9Z,12Z-octadecadienoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine + H2O = 1-hexadecanoyl-2-(9Z,12Z-octadecadienoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + N-hexadecanoylethanolamine + H(+)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY N-octadecanoyl-1,2-di-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine + H2O = N-octadecanoyl ethanolamine + 1,2-di-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + H(+)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY N,1,2-tri-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine + H2O = N-(9Z-octadecenoyl) ethanolamine + 1,2-di-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + H(+)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY N-(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z-eicosatetraenoyl)-1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine + H2O = N-(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z-eicosatetraenoyl)-ethanolamine + a 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + H(+)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY N-(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z-eicosatetraenoyl)-1,2-di-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine + H2O = N-(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z-eicosatetraenoyl)-ethanolamine + 1,2-di-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + H(+)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY 1-O-(1Z-octadecenoyl)-2-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phospho-N-hexadecanoyl-ethanolamine + H2O = 1-O-(1Z-octadecenoyl)-2-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + N-hexadecanoylethanolamine + H(+)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY N,1-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine + H2O = an N-acylethanolamine + a 1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + H(+)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY N,1-dihexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine + H2O = N-hexadecanoylethanolamine + 1-hexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + H(+)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY N-(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z-eicosatetraenoyl)-1-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine + H2O = N-(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z-eicosatetraenoyl)-ethanolamine + 1-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + H(+)COFACTOR Binds 2 zinc divalent cations per subunit.ACTIVITY REGULATION Activated by divalent cations (PubMed:16527816). Activated by bile acids and their conjugates, except for lithocholic acid which is rather inhibitory. Binding of deoxycholic acid favors the selective release of anandamide and likely other unsatured long FAEs (PubMed:25684574, PubMed:27571266). Inhibited by phosphatidylethanolamines (PubMed:25684574).BIOPHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES Homodimer. Bile acids promote the assembly of inactive monomers into an active dimer and enable catalysis.INTERACTION Localized in the proximity of the cellular membranes likely through interaction with membrane phospholipids.TISSUE SPECIFICITY Widely expressed. Highest expression in brain, kidney and testis (at protein level). Expressed in adipose tissue (at protein level).SIMILARITY Belongs to the NAPE-PLD family.ONLINE INFORMATION N-acyl phosphatidylethanolamine-specific phospholipase D entry
