EC 3.1.3.104

Accepted name: 5-amino-6-(5-phospho-D-ribitylamino)uracil phosphatase

Reaction: 5-amino-6-(5-phospho-D-ribitylamino)uracil + H2O = 5-amino-6-(D-ribitylamino)uracil + phosphate

Other name(s): 5-amino-6-ribitylamino-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione 5'-phosphate phosphatase

Systematic name: 5-amino-6-(5-phospho-D-ribitylamino)uracil phosphohydrolase

Comments: Requires Mg2+. The enzyme, which is found in plants and bacteria, is part of a pathway for riboflavin biosynthesis. Most forms of the enzyme has a broad substrate specificity [1,3].
