3.1.3.69 |
| Accepted name: |
glucosylglycerol 3-phosphatase |
| Reaction: |
2-O-(α-D-glucosyl)-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate + H2O = 2-O-(α-D-glucopyranosyl)glycerol + phosphate |
| Other name(s): |
salt tolerance protein A; StpA; 2-(β-D-glucosyl)-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate phosphohydrolase (incorrect) |
| Systematic name: |
2-O-(α-D-glucopyranosyl)-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate phosphohydrolase |
| Comments: |
Acts with EC 2.4.1.213 (glucosylglycerol-phosphate synthase) to form glucosylglycerol, an osmolyte that endows cyanobacteria with resistance to salt. |
