| Accepted name: |
acetylalkylglycerol acetylhydrolase |
| Reaction: |
2-acetyl-1-alkyl-sn-glycerol + H2O = 1-alkyl-sn-glycerol + acetate |
| Other name(s): |
alkylacetylglycerol acetylhydrolase |
| Systematic name: |
2-acetyl-1-alkyl-sn-glycerol acetylhydrolase |
| Comments: |
Hydrolysis of the acetyl group from the 1-alkyl-2-acetyl and 1-alkyl-3-acetyl substrates occurs at apparently identical rates. The enzyme from Erlich ascites cells is membrane-bound. It differs from lipoprotein lipase (EC 3.1.1.34) since 1,2-diacetyl-sn-glycerols are not substrates. It also differs from EC 3.1.1.47, 1-acetyl-2-alkyl-glycerophosphocholine esterase. |
