EC 3.1.3.76

Accepted name: lipid-phosphate phosphatase

Reaction: (9S,10S)-10-hydroxy-9-(phosphooxy)octadecanoate + H2O = (9S,10S)-9,10-dihydroxyoctadecanoate + phosphate

Other name(s): hydroxy fatty acid phosphatase; dihydroxy fatty acid phosphatase; hydroxy lipid phosphatase; sEH (ambiguous); soluble epoxide hydrolase (ambiguous); (9S,10S)-10-hydroxy-9-(phosphonooxy)octadecanoate phosphohydrolase

Systematic name: (9S,10S)-10-hydroxy-9-(phosphooxy)octadecanoate phosphohydrolase

Comments: Requires Mg2+ for maximal activity. The enzyme from mammals is a bifunctional enzyme: the N-terminal domain exhibits lipid-phosphate-phosphatase activity and the C-terminal domain has the activity of EC 3.3.2.10, soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) [1]. The best substrates for this enzyme are 10-hydroxy-9-(phosphooxy)octadecanoates, with the threo- form being a better substrate than the erythro- form [1]. The phosphatase activity is not found in plant sEH or in EC 3.3.2.9, microsomal epoxide hydrolase, from mammals [1].
