2-deoxyglucose-6-phosphatase

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In enzymology, a 2-deoxyglucose-6-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.68) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

2-deoxy-D-glucose 6-phosphate + H₂O $\rightleftharpoons$ 2-deoxy-D-glucose + phosphate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 2-deoxy-D-glucose 6-phosphate and H₂O, whereas its two products are 2-deoxy-D-glucose and phosphate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on phosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 2-deoxy-D-glucose-6-phosphate phosphohydrolase. This enzyme is also called 2-deoxyglucose-6-phosphate phosphatase.
