- CDP-diacylglycerol diphosphatase
In
enzymology , a CDP-diacylglycerol diphosphatase (EC number|3.6.1.26) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :CDP-diacylglycerol + H2O CMP + phosphatidate
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are
CDP-diacylglycerol and H2O, whereas its two products are CMP andphosphatidate .This enzyme belongs to the family of
hydrolase s, specifically those acting on acid anhydrides in phosphorus-containing anhydrides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is CDP-diacylglycerol phosphatidylhydrolase. Other names in common use include cytidine diphosphodiacylglycerol pyrophosphatase, and CDP diacylglycerol hydrolase. This enzyme participates inglycerophospholipid metabolism .tructural studies
As of late 2007, only one structure has been solved for this class of enzymes, with the PDB accession code PDB link|2POF.
