Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are CDP-diacylglycerol and H2O, whereas its two products are CMP and phosphatidate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on acid anhydrides in phosphorus-containing anhydrides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is CDP-diacylglycerol phosphatidylhydrolase. Other names in common use include cytidine diphosphodiacylglycerol pyrophosphatase, and CDP diacylglycerol hydrolase. This enzyme participates in glycerophospholipid metabolism.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, only one structure has been solved for this class of enzymes, with the PDB accession code 2POF.

gollark: It's funny to imagine that bureaucrats will have to write letters to the "technoking" or something.
gollark: I at least vaguely like him for being humorous and actually doing space things.
gollark: Well, it's uncool to (claim to) have beliefs which do not actually change your behavior or predictions at all.
