glycerophosphoryl diester phosphodiesterase family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as GDPD1_HUMAN, GDPD1, GDE4. Hydrolyzes lysoglycerophospholipids to produce lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and the corresponding amines (PubMed:27637550, PubMed:25596343). Shows a preference for 1-O-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (lyso-PAF), lysophosphatidylethanolamine (lyso-PE) and lysophosphatidylcholine (lyso-PC) (PubMed:27637550, PubMed:25596343). May be involved in bioactive N-acylethanolamine biosynthesis from both N-acyl-lysoplasmenylethanolamin (N-acyl-lysoPlsEt) and N-acyl-lysophosphatidylethanolamin (N-acyl-lysoPE) (PubMed:27637550, PubMed:25596343). In addition, hydrolyzes glycerophospho-N-acylethanolamine to N-acylethanolamine (PubMed:27637550). Does not display glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase activity, since it cannot hydrolyze either glycerophosphoinositol or glycerophosphocholine (By similarity).
