The enzyme glycerophosphocholine cholinephosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.38) is an enzyme that catalyzes the reaction
- sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + H2O = glycerol + phosphocholine
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on phosphoric diester bonds. The systematic name is sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine cholinephosphohydrolase. This enzyme is also called L-3-glycerylphosphinicocholine cholinephosphohydrolase.
Structural studies
As of late 2007, only one structure has been solved for this class of enzymes, with the PDB accession code 1WRA.
