CDP-glycerol diphosphatase
Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a CDP-glycerol diphosphatase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- CDP-glycerol + H2O CMP + sn-glycerol 3-phosphate
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are CDP-glycerol and H2O, whereas its two products are CMP and sn-glycerol 3-phosphate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on acid anhydrides in phosphorus-containing anhydrides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is CDP-glycerol phosphoglycerohydrolase. Other names in common use include CDP-glycerol pyrophosphatase, and cytidine diphosphoglycerol pyrophosphatase. This enzyme participates in glycerophospholipid metabolism.
