Glycerol-2-phosphatase

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In enzymology, a glycerol-2-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.19) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

glycerol 2-phosphate + H₂O glycerol + phosphate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are glycerol 2-phosphate and H₂O, whereas its two products are glycerol 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 glycerol-2-phosphate phosphohydrolase. Other names in common use include beta-glycerophosphatase, beta-glycerophosphate phosphatase, and 2-glycerophosphatase.
