ENTRY       EC 3.1.1.71
NAME        Acetylalkylglycerol acetylhydrolase
            Alkylacetylglycerol acetylhydrolase
CLASS       Hydrolases
            Acting on ester bonds
            Carboxylic ester hydrolases
REACTION    2-Acetyl-1-alkyl-sn-glycerol + H2O = 1-Alkyl-sn-glycerol + Acetate
SUBSTRATE   2-Acetyl-1-alkyl-sn-glycerol
            H2O
PRODUCT     1-Alkyl-sn-glycerol
            Acetate
COMMENT     Hydrolysis of the Acetate group from the 1,2- and 1,3- isomers of
            Acetylalkylglycerol occurs at apparently identical rates.
            Differs from Diacylglycerol lipase (EC 3.1.1.34) since 1,2-Diacetyl-
            sn-glycerols are not substrates. It also differs from EC 3.1.1.47
            (2-Acetyl-1-alkyl-glycerophosphocholine esterase).
