The enzyme serine-ethanolaminephosphate phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.13) catalyzes the reaction
- serine phosphoethanolamine + H2O serine + ethanolamine phosphate
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on phosphoric diester bonds. The systematic name is serine-phosphoethanolamine ethanolaminephosphohydrolase. Other names in common use include serine ethanolamine phosphodiester phosphodiesterase, and SEP diesterase. This enzyme participates in glycerophospholipid metabolism.
