The enzyme phosphatidate phosphatase (PAP, EC 3.1.3.4) is a key regulatory enzyme in lipid metabolism, catalyzing the conversion of phosphatidate to diacylglycerol:[1][2]

a 1,2-diacylglycerol 3-phosphate + H2O a 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol + phosphate

The reverse conversion is catalyzed by the enzyme diacylglycerol kinase, which replaces the hydroxyl group on diacylgylcerol with a phosphate from ATP, generating ADP in the process.

In yeast, the forward direction is Mg2+-dependent, while the reverse process is Ca2+-dependent.[3] PAP1, a cytosolic phosphatidate phosphatase found in the lung, is also -dependent, but PAP2, a six-transmembrane-domain integral protein found in the plasma membrane, is not.[4][5]

Reactants and products of the reaction catalyzed by the enzyme phosphatidate phosphatase, and thus also those of the reverse reaction, which is catalyzed by the enzyme diacylglycerol kinase.
