Phospholipase D

UniProtKB accession:  Q53728

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  A reversible phospholipase active on phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine. Lysophosphatidylcholine and egg sphingomyelin are hydrolyzed about 50 times and 100 times more slowly than PC, respectively. During the transphosphatidylation reaction straight-chain hydroxy compounds, such as triethyleneglycol and triethyleneglycol monomethyl ether, were phosphatidylated in good yield, as were monosaccharides. Disaccharides and sugar alcohol reacted slowly, while N-acetyl-D-galactosamine, D-galactosamine and D-galacturonic acid were not phosphatidylated.
