Glycerophosphocholine cholinephosphodiesterase

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.
