(phosphorylase) phosphatase

The enzyme phosphorylase a phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.17) catalyzes the reaction


 * [phosphorylase a] + 4 H$2$O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 2 [phosphorylase b] + 4 phosphate

It is synonymous with Protein phosphatase 1. This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on phosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name is [phosphorylase a] phosphohydrolase. Other names in common use include PR-enzyme, phosphorylase a phosphatase, glycogen phosphorylase phosphatase, protein phosphatase C, and type 1 protein phosphatase.
