Glycerophosphoinositol inositolphosphodiesterase

In enzymology, a glycerophosphoinositol inositolphosphodiesterase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction


 * 1-(sn-glycero-3-phospho)-1D-myo-inositol + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ glycerol + 1D-myo-inositol 1-phosphate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 1-(sn-glycero-3-phospho)-1D-myo-inositol and H2O, whereas its two products are glycerol and 1D-myo-inositol 1-phosphate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on phosphoric diester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 1-(sn-glycero-3-phospho)-1D-myo-inositol inositolphosphohydrolase. Other names in common use include 1,2-cyclic-inositol-phosphate phosphodiesterase, D-myo-inositol 1:2-cyclic phosphate 2-phosphohydrolase, D-inositol 1,2-cyclic phosphate 2-phosphohydrolase, D-myo-inositol 1,2-cyclic phosphate 2-phosphohydrolase, 1-D-myo-inositol-1,2-cyclic-phosphate 2-inositolphosphohydrolase, and inositol-1,2-cyclic-phosphate 2-inositolphosphohydrolase.
