N-acetylphosphatidylethanolamine-hydrolysing phospholipase D (EC 3.1.4.54, NAPE-PLD, anandamide-generating phospholipase D, N-acyl phosphatidylethanolamine phospholipase D, NAPE-hydrolyzing phospholipase D) is an enzyme with systematic name N-acetylphosphatidylethanolamine phosphatidohydrolase. It catalyses the following chemical reaction
N-acylphosphatidylethanolamine + H2O N-acylethanolamine + a 1,2-diacylglycerol 3-phosphate
This enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of anandamide.
