Lipid-phosphate phosphatase

In enzymology, a lipid-phosphate phosphatase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction


 * (9S,10S)-10-hydroxy-9-(phosphonooxy)octadecanoate + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ (9S,10S)-9,10-dihydroxyoctadecanoate + phosphate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are (9S,10S)-10-hydroxy-9-(phosphonooxy)octadecanoate and H2O, whereas its two products are (9S,10S)-9,10-dihydroxyoctadecanoate and phosphate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on phosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (9S,10S)-10-hydroxy-9-(phosphonooxy)octadecanoate phosphohydrolase. Other names in common use include hydroxy fatty acid phosphatase, dihydroxy fatty acid phosphatase, hydroxy lipid phosphatase, sEH (ambiguous), and soluble epoxide hydrolase (ambiguous).
