1-alkyl-2-acetylglycerophosphocholine esterase

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In enzymology, a 1-alkyl-2-acetylglycerophosphocholine esterase (EC 3.1.1.47) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + H₂O 1-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + acetate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine and H₂O, whereas its two products are 1-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine 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 1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine acetohydrolase. Other names in common use include 1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine acetylhydrolase, and alkylacetyl-GPC:acetylhydrolase. This enzyme participates in ether lipid metabolism.
