Synonyms
lipophosphodiesterase I; lecithinase C; Clostridium welchii α-toxin; Clostridium oedematiens β- and γ-toxins; lipophosphodiesterase C; phosphatidase C; heat-labile hemolysin; α-toxin
Function
The bacterial enzyme, which is a zinc protein, also acts on sphingomyelin and phosphatidylinositol; that from seminal plasma does not act on phosphatidylinositol.
Applications
Research Use
Source
Clostridium perfringens (C. welchii)
Instruction
Chromatographically purified
Production Methods
Fermentation
Activity
Type I, > 150 units/mg protein; Type II, 10-50 units/mg protein; Type III, Type IV, > 1,000 units/mg protein (Lowry).
Unit Definition
One unit will liberate 1.0 μmole of water soluble organic phosphorus from egg yolk L-α-phosphatidylcholine per min at pH 7.3 at 37°C.
Reaction
a phosphatidylcholine + H2O = 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol + phosphocholine
