Description

The PISD (phosphatidylserine decarboxylase) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 22.

PISD is an acronym that may refer to:

PISD catalyzes the formation of phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn) from phosphatidylserine (PtdSer). It plays a key role in phospholipid metabolism and the movement of phosphatidylserine between cellular compartments. PISD might also be involved in the formation of lipid droplets at the endoplasmic reticulum membrane.

PISD is also known as DJ858B16, LIBF, PSD, PSDC, PSSC, dJ858B16.2.
