Function Plays a role in cell growth. Hydrolyzes membrane phospholipids, such as PtdCho (phosphatidylcholine), producing the free headgroup and PtdOH (phosphatidic acid; signaling molecule on its own). Involved in the inhibition of actin-based motility and endocytosis. Its inhibition causes complete collapse of F-actin organization. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15769249, ECO:0000269|PubMed:6498208, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8394342}.
