Glucose-1-phosphatase

Template:Infobox enzyme The enzyme glucose-1-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.10) catalyzes the reaction

α-D-glucose 1-phosphate + H₂O $\rightleftharpoons$ 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.
