Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The lipid phosphate phosphatase 3 (LPP3) degrades bioactive lysophospholipids, including lysophosphatidic acid and sphingosine-1-phosphate, and thereby terminates their signaling effects. Although emerging evidence links lysophosphatidic acid to atherosclerosis and vascular injury responses, little is known about the role of vascular LPP3. The goal of this study was to determine the role of LPP3 in the...
