In enzymology a CMP-N-acylneuraminate phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.40) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionCMP-N-acylneuraminate + H2O CMP + N-acylneuraminateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are CMP-N-acylneuraminate and H2O whereas its two products are CMP and N-acylneuraminate.This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases specifically those acting on phosphoric diester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is CMP-N-acylneuraminate N-acylneuraminohydrolase.
