The enzyme glycerophosphocholine phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.2) catalyzes the reaction

sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + H₂O

\rightleftharpoons

choline + sn-glycerol 3-phosphate

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on phosphoric diester bonds. The systematic name is sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine glycerophosphohydrolase. Other names in common use include glycerophosphinicocholine diesterase, glycerylphosphorylcholinediesterase, sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine diesterase, glycerolphosphorylcholine phosphodiesterase, and glycerophosphohydrolase. This enzyme participates in glycerophospholipid metabolism.
