Dolichylphosphate-glucose phosphodiesterase

The enzyme dolichylphosphate-glucose phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.48) catalyzes the reaction


 * dolichyl β- D -glucosyl phosphate + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ dolichyl phosphate + D -glucose

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on phosphoric diester bonds. The systematic name is dolichyl-β- D -glucosyl-phosphate dolichylphosphohydrolase. Other names in common use include dolichol phosphoglucose phosphodiesterase, and Dol-P-Glc phosphodiesterase. This enzyme participates in n-glycan biosynthesis.
