The enzyme GDP-glucosidase () catalyzes the chemical reaction
The enzyme characterised from yeast hydrolyses guanosine diphosphate glucose (GDP-glucose) to D-glucose and guanosine diphosphate.
This enzyme is a hydrolase, specifically a glycosidase that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is GDP-glucose glucohydrolase. Other names in use include guanosine diphosphoglucosidase, and guanosine diphosphate D-glucose glucohydrolase.
