Abstract
Transphosphatidylation activity is a characteristic and remarkable property of phospholipase D (PLD) and has been studied in plants and mammalian tissues. This reaction is often used to confirm the properties and/or abnormalities of PLD activity. The mechanism for activating PLD transphosphatidylation seems multiple. Although significant changes of transphosphatidylation activity have been found in some pathological animal models, the biological significance of PLD transphosphatidylation remains largely unknown.
