Lecithinase C

Phospholipase C (EC 3.1.4.3, lipophosphodiesterase I, Clostridium welchii alpha-toxin, Clostridium oedematiens beta- and gamma-toxins, lipophosphodiesterase C, phosphatidase C, heat-labile hemolysin, alpha-toxin) is an enzyme with systematic name phosphatidylcholine cholinephosphohydrolase.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

a phosphatidylcholine + H₂O

\rightleftharpoons

1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol + phosphocholine

The bacterial enzyme is a zinc protein. It also acts on sphingomyelin and phosphatidylinositol.
