EC 3.1.3.24 Details
EC number
3.1.3.24
Accepted name
sucrose-phosphate phosphatase
Reaction
sucrose 6F-phosphate + H2O = sucrose + phosphate
Other name(s)
sucrose 6-phosphate hydrolase, sucrose-phosphate hydrolase, sucrose-phosphate phosphohydrolase, sucrose-6-phosphatase, sucrose phosphatase, sucrose-6-phosphate phosphatase, SPP
Systematic name
sucrose-6F-phosphate phosphohydrolase
CAS registry number
9059-33-0
Comment
Requires Mg2+ for maximal activity [2]. This is the final step in the sucrose-biosynthesis pathway. The enzyme is highly specific for sucrose 6-phosphate, with fructose 6-phosphate unable to act as a substrate [2]. Belongs in the haloacid dehydrogenase (HAD) superfamily. The F of sucrose 6F-phosphate is used to indicate that the fructose residue of sucrose carries the substituent.
