Alkenylglycerophosphocholine hydrolase
In enzymology, an alkenylglycerophosphocholine hydrolase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 1--sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine and H2O, whereas its two products are aldehyde and sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on ether bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 1--sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine aldehydohydrolase. This enzyme is also called lysoplasmalogenase. This enzyme participates in ether lipid metabolism.
