This is a PLD-like domain mainly found in Cardiolipin synthases. These enzymes catalyse the reversible phosphatidyl group transfer from one phosphatidylglycerol molecule to another to form cardiolipin (CL) (diphosphatidylglycerol) and glycerol [1]. Mitochondrial cardiolipin hydrolase (PLD6) from mammals has phospholipase and nuclease activities, depending on the different physiological conditions [2] and it plays a key role in mitochondrial fusion and fission via its phospholipase activity [3].
