Characterization of glycerophosphorylcholine, -ethanolamine, -serine, -inositol, and -glycerol hydrolytic activity in housefly larvae

Homogenates of Musca domestica (housefly) larvae contain glycerophosphodiesterase activity, which is found in the supernatant fluid after centrifugation at 88,000 g. The phosphodiesterase is inhibited by EDTA and is stimulated by Mg2+, Ni2+, Co2+, and Mn2+. The pH optimum is 7.2. The enzyme is stabl...
