Pheophorbidase (EC 3.1.1.82, phedase, PPD) is an enzyme with systematic name pheophorbide-a hydrolase.[1][2][3] It catalyses the following reaction:

pheophorbide a + H2O [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] pyropheophorbide a + methanol + CO2 (overall reaction)
(1a) pheophorbide a + H2O [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] C-132-carboxypyropheophorbide a + methanol
(1b) C-132-carboxypyropheophorbide a [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] pyropheophorbide a + CO2 (spontaneous)

This enzyme participates in the chlorophyll degradation in higher plants and algae.
