Glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase domain of mammalian glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase GDE3 and similar proteins. This subfamily corresponds to the glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase domain (GDPD) present in mammalian GDE3 (also known as glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase domain-containing protein 2 (GDPD2), Osteoblast differentiation promoting factor) and their metazoan homologs. Mammalian GDE3 is a transmembrane protein specifically expressed in bone tissues and spleen. It is a mammalian homolog of bacterial glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterases (GP-GDEs, EC 3.1.4.46), which catalyzes the hydrolysis of various glycerophosphodiesters, and produce sn-glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) and the corresponding alcohols. Mammalian GDE3 has been characterized as glycerophosphoinositol inositolphosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.43) that selectively hydrolyzes extracellular glycerophosphoinositol (GPI) to generate inositol 1-phosphate (Ins1P) and glycerol. Mammalian GDE3 functions as an inducer of osteoblast differentiation. It also plays a critical role for actin cytoskeletal modulation. The catalytic activity of GDPD domain is essential for mammalian GDE3 cellular function.
