The enzyme glucose-1-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.10) catalyzes the reaction
- α-D-glucose 1-phosphate + H2O D-glucose + phosphate
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on phosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name is α-D-glucose-1-phosphate phosphohydrolase. This enzyme participates in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis.
Structural studies[edit]
As of late 2007, only one structure has been solved for this class of enzymes, with the PDB accession code 1NT4.
