lipid metabolic process
|
The chemical reactions and pathways involving lipids, compounds soluble in an organic solvent but not, or sparingly, in an aqueous solvent. Includes fatty acids; neutral fats, other fatty-acid esters, and soaps; long-chain (fatty) alcohols and waxes; sphingoids and other long-chain bases; glycolipids, phospholipids and sphingolipids; and carotenes, polyprenols, sterols, terpenes and other isoprenoids. |

phosphoric diester hydrolase activity
|
Catalysis of the hydrolysis of a phosphodiester to give a phosphomonoester and a free hydroxyl group. |
|
GO:0006071
|
glycerol metabolic process
|
The chemical reactions and pathways involving glycerol, 1,2,3-propanetriol, a sweet, hygroscopic, viscous liquid, widely distributed in nature as a constituent of many lipids. |
|
GO:0008889
|
glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase activity
|
Catalysis of the reaction: a glycerophosphodiester + H2O = an alcohol + sn-glycerol 3-phosphate. |
