Accepted name: |
phosphatidate phosphatase |
Reaction: |
a 1,2-diacylglycerol 3-phosphate + H2O = a 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol + phosphate |
Glossary: |
a 1,2-diacylglycerol 3-phosphate = a 3-sn-phosphatidate
a 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol = diacylglycerol = DAG |
Other name(s): |
phosphatic acid phosphatase; acid phosphatidyl phosphatase; phosphatic acid phosphohydrolase; PAP; Lipin |
Systematic name: |
diacylglycerol-3-phosphate phosphohydrolase |
Comments: |
This enzyme catalyses the Mg2+-dependent dephosphorylation of a 1,2-diacylglycerol-3-phosphate, yielding a 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol (DAG), the substrate for de novo lipid synthesis via the Kennedy pathway and for the synthesis of triacylglycerol. In lipid signalling, the enzyme generates a pool of DAG to be used for protein kinase C activation. The mammalian enzymes are known as lipins. |

3.1.4.54 |
Accepted name: |
N-acetylphosphatidylethanolamine-hydrolysing phospholipase D |
Reaction: |
N-acylphosphatidylethanolamine + H2O = N-acylethanolamine + a 1,2-diacylglycerol 3-phosphate |
Other name(s): |
NAPE-PLD; anandamide-generating phospholipase D; N-acyl phosphatidylethanolamine phospholipase D; NAPE-hydrolyzing phospholipase D |
Systematic name: |
N-acetylphosphatidylethanolamine phosphatidohydrolase |
Comments: |
This enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of anandamide. It does not hydrolyse phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine [1]. No transphosphatidation [1]. The enzyme contains Zn2+ and is activated by Mg2+ or Ca2+ [2]. |
