Phosphoamidase

Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a phosphoamidase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

N-phosphocreatine + H₂O $\rightleftharpoons$ creatine + phosphate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are N-phosphocreatine and H₂O, whereas its two products are creatine and phosphate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on phosphorus-nitrogen bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is phosphamide hydrolase. This enzyme is also called creatine phosphatase.
