CDP-diacylglycerol diphosphatase

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In enzymology, a CDP-diacylglycerol diphosphatase (EC 3.6.1.26) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

CDP-diacylglycerol + H2O \rightleftharpoons CMP + phosphatidate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are CDP-diacylglycerol and H2O, whereas its two products are CMP and phosphatidate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on acid anhydrides in phosphorus-containing anhydrides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is CDP-diacylglycerol phosphatidylhydrolase. Other names in common use include cytidine diphosphodiacylglycerol pyrophosphatase, and CDP diacylglycerol hydrolase. This enzyme participates in glycerophospholipid metabolism.
