3.5.1.69 |
Accepted name: |
glycosphingolipid deacylase |
Reaction: |
Hydrolysis of gangliosides and neutral glycosphingolipids, releasing fatty acids to form the lyso-derivatives |
Other name(s): |
glycosphingolipid ceramide deacylase |
Systematic name: |
glycosphingolipid amidohydrolase |
Comments: |
Does not act on sphingolipids such as ceramide. Not identical with EC 3.5.1.23 ceramidase. |
