2-phosphosulfolactate phosphatase

The enzyme 2-phosphosulfolactate phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.71) catalyzes the reaction


 * (2R)-2-phospho-3-sulfolactate + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ (2R)-3-sulfolactate + phosphate

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on phosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name (R)-2-phospho-3-sulfolactate phosphohydrolase. Other names in common use include (2R)-phosphosulfolactate phosphohydrolase, and ComB phosphatase.
