DDHD1
Description
DDHD1 (Diacylglycerol Diacylglycerol Lipase 1) is a gene that encodes an enzyme involved in lipid metabolism. This enzyme, known as DDHD1, plays a critical role in the hydrolysis of diacylglycerol (DAG), a key signaling molecule in cellular processes. DDHD1's activity is particularly important in the brain, where it influences neuronal function and lipid homeostasis. Mutations in the DDHD1 gene have been linked to various neurological disorders, highlighting its significance in maintaining healthy brain function.
