3.1.3.74 |
| Accepted name: |
pyridoxal phosphatase |
| Reaction: |
pyridoxal 5′-phosphate + H2O = pyridoxal + phosphate |
| Other name(s): |
vitamine B6 (pyridoxine) phosphatase; PLP phosphatase; vitamin B6-phosphate phosphatase; PNP phosphatase |
| Systematic name: |
pyridoxal-5′-phosphate phosphohydrolase |
| Comments: |
Requires Mg2+. This enzyme is specific for phosphorylated vitamin B6 compounds: it acts not only on pyridoxal phosphate (PLP), but also on pyridoxine phosphate (PNP), pyridoxamine phosphate (PMP), 4-pyridoxic acid phosphate and 4-deoxypyridoxine phosphate. This reaction can also be carried out by EC 3.1.3.1 (alkaline phosphatase) and EC 3.1.3.2 (acid phosphatase), but these enzymes have very broad substrate specificities. |
