Acetylalkylglycerol acetylhydrolase

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In enzymology, an acetylalkylglycerol acetylhydrolase (EC 3.1.1.71) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

2-acetyl-1-alkyl-sn-glycerol + H₂O 1-alkyl-sn-glycerol + acetate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 2-acetyl-1-alkyl-sn-glycerol and H₂O, whereas its two products are 1-alkyl-sn-glycerol and acetate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on carboxylic ester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 2-acetyl-1-alkyl-sn-glycerol acetylhydrolase. This enzyme is also called alkylacetylglycerol acetylhydrolase.
