Reaction: A glycerophosphodiester + H2O = an alcohol + sn-glycerol 3-phosphate
Other name(s): gene hpd protein; glycerophosphoryl diester phosphodiesterase; IgD-binding protein D
Systematic name: glycerophosphodiester glycerophosphohydrolase
Comments: Broad specificity for glycerophosphodiesters; glycerophosphocholine, glycerophosphoethanolamine, glycerophosphoglycerol and bis(glycerophospho)-glycerol are hydrolysed.
