- GDP-glucosidase
In
enzymology , a GDP-glucosidase (EC number|3.2.1.42) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :GDP-glucose + H2O D-glucose + GDP
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are
GDP-glucose and H2O, whereas its two products areD-glucose and GDP.This enzyme belongs to the family of
hydrolase s, specifically those glycosidases that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is GDP-glucose glucohydrolase. Other names in common use include guanosine diphosphoglucosidase, and guanosine diphosphate D-glucose glucohydrolase.References
