phospholipase Biochem.|fɒsfəʊˈlɪpeɪz, -s|
[a. G. phospholipase (H. Udagawa 1935, in Jrnl. Biochem. (Japan) XXII. 324): see next and -ase.]
Any enzyme that hydrolyses lecithin (phosphatidyl choline) and similar phospholipids; = lecithinase.
1945Jrnl. Biol. Chem. CLVII. 643 A method is described for following the partial hydrolysis of phospholipids by the phospholipase of moccasin venom. 1965Hanahan & Brockerhoff in Florkin & Stotz Comprehensive Biochem. VI. iii. 91 Through the use of quite specific enzymes, called the phospholipases (or lecithinases), the phosphatidyl choline (lecithin) molecule can be effectively degraded in a stepwise manner... The enzyme, phospholipase A, is found in high concentration in many species of snake venom... Phospholipase C has been found in high concentration in plant tissues, such as carrots, spinach and cabbage leaves whereas phospholipase D occurs mainly in bacteria. 1974Dunn & Bondy Functional Chem. of Brain iv. 84 Lecithin (phosphatidyl-choline) may be hydrolyzed by phospholipase A to lysolecithin (lecithin lacking its β-fatty acid). |
