Histidinol-phosphatase
Template:Infobox enzyme The enzyme histidinol-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.15) catalyzes the reaction
- L-histidinol phosphate + H2O L-histidinol + phosphate
This enzyme participates in histidine metabolism.
Nomenclature
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, to be specific, those acting on phosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name is L-histidinol-phosphate phosphohydrolase. Other names in common use include histidinol phosphate phosphatase, L-histidinol phosphate phosphatase, histidinolphosphate phosphatase, HPpase, and histidinolphosphatase.
