Glycerophosphocholine cholinephosphodiesterase

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In enzymology, a glycerophosphocholine cholinephosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.38) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + H₂O glycerol + choline phosphate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine and H₂O, whereas its two products are glycerol and choline phosphate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on phosphoric diester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine cholinephosphohydrolase. This enzyme is also called L-3-glycerylphosphinicocholine cholinephosphohydrolase.
