Alterations in BMP levels are associated with neurodegenerative diseases. Unlike typical glycerophospholipids, lysosomal BMP has two chiral glycerol carbons in the\n                  <jats:italic>S<\/jats:italic>\n                  (rather than the\n                  <jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic>\n                  ) stereo-conformation, protecting it from lysosomal degradation.

PLD3 mutants associated with neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer\u2019s disease risk, diminished PLD3 catalytic activity.
