Pyridoxal phosphatase

Template:Infobox enzyme The enzyme pyridoxal phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.74) catalyzes the reaction

pyridoxal 5′-phosphate + H₂O $\rightleftharpoons$ pyridoxal + phosphate

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on phosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name is pyridoxal-5′-phosphate phosphohydrolase. Other names in common use include vitamine B₆ (pyridoxine) phosphatase, PLP phosphatase, vitamin B₆-phosphate phosphatase, and PNP phosphatase. This enzyme participates in vitamin B₆ metabolism.
