Dolichyl-phosphatase

The enzyme dolichyl-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.51) catalyzes the reaction


 * dolichyl phosphate + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ dolichol + phosphate

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, to be specific, those acting on phosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name is dolichyl-phosphate phosphohydrolase. Other names in common use include dolichol phosphate phosphatase, dolichol phosphatase, dolichol monophosphatase, dolichyl monophosphate phosphatase, dolichyl phosphate phosphatase, polyisoprenyl phosphate phosphatase, polyprenylphosphate phosphatase, and Dol-P phosphatase. This enzyme participates in N-linked-glycan biosynthesis.
