In enzymology a 1-alkyl-2-acetylglycerophosphocholine esterase (EC 3.1.1.47) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + H2O 1-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + acetateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are 1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine and H2O whereas its two products are 1-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine and acetate.This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases specifically those acting on carboxylic ester bonds.
