Mannosylfructose-phosphate phosphatase

Mannosylfructose-phosphate phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.79, mannosylfructose-6-phosphate phosphatase, MFPP) is an enzyme with systematic name β- D -ructofuranosyl-α- D -mannopyranoside-6F-phosphate phosphohydrolase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * β- D -fructofuranosyl-α- D -mannopyranoside 6F-phosphate + H2O$$\rightleftharpoons$$   β- D -fructofuranosyl-α- D -mannopyranoside + phosphate

This enzyme, from the soil proteobacterium and plant pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain C58, requires Mg2+ for activity.
