3-phosphoglycerate phosphatase

The enzyme 3-phosphoglycerate phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.38) catalyzes the reaction


 * D -glycerate 3-phosphate + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ D -glycerate + phosphate

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on phosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name is  D -glycerate-3-phosphate phosphohydrolase. Other names in common use include  D -3-Phosphoglycerate phosphatase, and 3-PGA phosphatase. This enzyme participates in glycine, serine and threonine metabolism.
