Reaction: a 1-acyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate + H2O = a 1-acyl-sn-glycerol + phosphate
Other name(s): 1-acyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphatase; CPC3 (gene name); PHM8 (gene name)
Systematic name: 1-acyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate phosphohydrolase
Comments: The enzyme has been studied from the plants Arachis hypogaea (peanut) and Arabidopsis thaliana (thale cress) and from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The enzyme from yeast, but not from the plants, requires Mg2+.
