The enzyme glycosylphosphatidylinositol diacylglycerol-lyase (EC 4.6.1.14) catalyzes the reaction

6-(α-D-glucosaminyl)-1-phosphatidyl-1D-myo-inositol = 6-(α-D-glucosaminyl)-1D-myo-inositol 1,2-cyclic phosphate + 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol

This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the class of phosphorus-oxygen lyases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 6-(α-D-glucosaminyl)-1-phosphatidyl-1D-myo-inositol 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol-lyase [6-(α-D-glucosaminyl)-1D-myo-inositol 1,2-cyclic phosphate-forming].

Other names in common use include:

  • GPI-PLC
  • GPI-specific phospholipase C
  • Glycosyl inositol phospholipid anchor-hydrolyzing enzyme
  • Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-phospholipase C
  • Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C or VSG-lipase[1]
  • Variant-surface-glycoprotein phospholipase C
  • 6-(α-D-glucosaminyl)-1-phosphatidyl-1D-myo-inositol
  • Diacylglycerol-lyase (1,2-cyclic-phosphate-forming)
