Reaction: maltose 6'-phosphate + H2O = maltose + phosphate
Other name(s): maltose 6'-P phosphatase; mapP (gene name)
Systematic name: maltose 6'-phosphate phosphohydrolase
Comments: The enzyme from the bacterium Enterococcus faecalis also has activity with the sucrose isomer turanose 6'-phosphate (α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)-D-fructose 6-phosphate).
