The enzyme characterised from bacteria and liver hydrolyses glycerophosphorylcholine to its components (R)-glyceryl 1-phosphate and choline.[1][2][3] Glycerophosphorylcholine is an osmolyte and this enzyme regulates its level.[4] The glycerophosphocholine pathway of which this is a part is implicated in carcinogenesis and tumor progression.[5]

This enzyme is a hydrolase, specifically one 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.[6]
