EC 3.1.3.25

Accepted name: inositol-phosphate phosphatase

Reaction: myo-inositol phosphate + H2O = myo-inositol + phosphate

Other name(s): myo-inositol-1(or 4)-monophosphatase; inositol 1-phosphatase; L-myo-inositol-1-phosphate phosphatase; myo-inositol 1-phosphatase; inositol phosphatase; inositol monophosphate phosphatase; inositol-1(or 4)-monophosphatase; myo-inositol-1(or 4)-phosphate phosphohydrolase; myo-inositol monophosphatase; myo-inositol-1-phosphatase

Systematic name: myo-inositol-phosphate phosphohydrolase

Comments: Acts on five of the six isomers of myo-inositol phosphate, all except myo-inositol 2-phosphate, but does not act on myo-inositol bearing more than one phosphate group. It also acts on adenosine 2'-phosphate (but not the 3'- or 5'- phosphates), sn-glycerol 3-phosphate and glycerol 2-phosphate. Two isoforms are known [4].
