Phosphatidylglycerophosphatase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In enzymology, a phosphatidylglycerophosphatase (EC 3.1.3.27) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- phosphatidylglycerophosphate + H2O
phosphatidylglycerol + phosphate
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are phosphatidylglycerophosphate and H2O, whereas its two products are phosphatidylglycerol and phosphate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on phosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is phosphatidylglycerophosphate phosphohydrolase. Other names in common use include phosphatidylglycerol phosphate phosphatase, phosphatidylglycerol phosphatase, and PGP phosphatase. This enzyme participates in glycerophospholipid metabolism.
