In [[enzymology]], an '''alkenylglycerophosphoethanolamine hydrolase''' ({{EC number|3.3.2.5}}) is an [[enzyme]] that [[catalysis|catalyzes]] the [[chemical reaction]]

:1-(1-alkenyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine + H<sub>2</sub>O <math>\rightleftharpoons</math> an aldehyde + sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine

Thus, the two [[substrate (biochemistry)|substrates]] of this enzyme are [[1-(1-alkenyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine]] and [[water|H<sub>2</sub>O]], whereas its two [[product (chemistry)|products]] are [[aldehyde]] and [[sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine]].

This enzyme belongs to the family of [[hydrolase]]s, specifically those acting on ether bonds (ether hydrolases).  The systematic name of this enzyme class is '''1-(1-alkenyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine aldehydohydrolase'''. This enzyme participates in [[ether lipid metabolism]].
