Alkenylglycerophosphoethanolamine hydrolase

In enzymology, an alkenylglycerophosphoethanolamine hydrolase (EC 3.3.2.5) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction In enzymology, an alkenylglycerophosphoethanolamine hydrolase (EC 3.3.2.5) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 1-(1-alkenyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine and H2O, whereas its two products are aldehyde and sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine. This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on ether bonds (ether hydrolases). The systematic name of this enzyme class is 1-(1-alkenyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine aldehydohydrolase. This enzyme participates in ether lipid metabolism.
