3.1.3.21 |
| Accepted name: |
glycerol-1-phosphatase |
| Reaction: |
glycerol 1-phosphate + H2O = glycerol + phosphate |
| Other name(s): |
α-glycerophosphatase; α-glycerol phosphatase; glycerol 3-phosphatase; glycerol-3-phosphate phosphatase; glycerol 3-phosphate phosphohydrolase |
| Systematic name: |
glycerol-1-phosphate phosphohydrolase |
| Comments: |
The Dunaliella enzyme acts more rapidly on sn-glycerol 1-phosphate than on the 3-phosphate. The enzyme from yeast also acts on propane-1,2-diol 1-phosphate, but not on a variety of other phosphate esters. |
