3.6.1.1 |
| Accepted name: |
inorganic diphosphatase |
| Reaction: |
diphosphate + H2O = 2 phosphate |
| Systematic name: |
diphosphate phosphohydrolase |
| Comments: |
Specificity varies with the source and with the activating metal ion. The enzyme from some sources may be identical with EC 3.1.3.1 (alkaline phosphatase) or EC 3.1.3.9 (glucose-6-phosphatase). cf. EC 7.1.3.1, H+-exporting diphosphatase. |
